"Drilling well on paper" exercise successfully implemented
HOUSTON, July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyperdynamics Corporation (OTCQX: HDYN) ("the Company") today announced that it has received a letter from the Government of Guinea confirming that a two-year appraisal period will be granted to the consortium of SCS Corporation Ltd. ("SCS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of HDYN, and South Atlantic Petroleum ("SAPETRO") in the event of an oil discovery in the Fatala-1 well. The letter was signed by the Director of ONAP (Guinean equivalent of the Ministry of Oil) Diakaria Koulibaly in response to the official request sent by SCS Corporation Ltd., for the two-year appraisal period.
The letter has been issued following the bi-annual Management Meeting held in Conakry on July 12. It was followed by the "drilling well on paper" exercise held July 14-15 in Conakry by SCS Corporation with all the subcontractors and suppliers before the Fatala-1 well is to be spudded in the first few days of August.
The Director of ONAP expressed his satisfaction with the level of preparedness of Hyperdynamics, its project partner SAPETRO and of all the contractors.
"We are very pleased with the level of preparation for the drilling of Fatala-1 and with the performance of the contractors. All the elements are coming together nicely for the imminent spudding of the Fatala-1 well," said Ray Leonard, Hyperdynamics' President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Should the Fatala-1 well result in an oil discovery we will be ready to move to the Bamboo prospect and other targets during the appraisal period," explained Mr. Leonard.
