The company is planning to transfer the drilling Ship Energy Searcher to a new point - the exploratory well VGP-111-BV-4X - in the near future.
The joint operating company Vietgazprom has drilled the exploratory well VGP-113-BV-3X within the scope of the Oil-and-Gas contract for block 112, signed between Gazprom, the Vietnamese National Oil-and-Gas Group Petrovietnam, PVEP Corporation for Oil-and-Gas Prospecting and Production and Gazprom zarubezhneftegaz.
The hydrocarbon deposit was opened in the Bao Vang structure in August 2007.
The first exploratory well in Bao Vang (VGP-111-BV-2X) was drilled in December 2009.
The drilling of well VGP-113-BV-3X was completed in September this year. Four objectives were tested, selected on the basis of GIS interpretation and core sampling.
