Additional three consecutive wells are scheduled over the next months, in order to further determine the potential of this area.
The cost of the first well is approximately USD 1.8 million. InterOil is operator with a 70% working interest, our partner state owned Ecopetrol has 30%.
"The extension of the Mana Field to the South could add significant production volume and reserves. We are extremely excited by the early results, and will prepare for several additional wells this year", says Nils N. Trulsvik, CEO of InterOil E&P ASA.
