The Miran West-3 is the first well in this drilling campaign and is scheduled to spud in July, targeting the flanks of the Jurassic structure with the benefit of the current 3D seismic survey.
The well will appraise the Upper and Lower Cretaceous reservoirs whilst drilling to its primary Jurassic objective, with an estimated total depth of approximately 3,800 meters.
On completion of this well, the rig will move to drill the Miran West-4 appraisal well.
A second rig is being sourced to drill the Miran East-1 exploration well in the fourth quarter of this year, at which point Heritage will have two rigs operating in the country.
Heritage is also currently acquiring 730 square kilometers of 3D seismic across the Miran block to help define further appraisal drilling locations and fully exploit fracture networks.
In addition, 180 kilometers of new 2D seismic data will be acquired within the block this year to define other potential prospects.
