IOG spuds first well in North Sea drilling campaign April 12, 2021, by Nermina Kulovic
Independent Oil and Gas plc (IOG) has started drilling the Elgood development well, 48/22c-H1, located in the UK North Sea.
Elgood is the first of five planned development wells in IOG’s Phase 1 project, IOG said on an update on Monday.
The rig mobilised from the Cromarty Firth on 1 April and reached the Elgood field location early on 4 April.
After preparation and jacking-up, the Elgood well spudded on 9 April 2021.
The well is expected to take approximately three months to drill and complete.
After that, the Noble Hans Deul jack-up rig will move on to Blythe in the early third quarter.
