NOTICE TO HARVESTERS – DETAILS FOR STENA DRILLMAX EXPLORATION DRILLING PROGRAM
April 17, 2024
ExxonMobil has engaged FFAW to notify harvetsers in 3KL of its upcoming exploration drilling program at the Persephone well site in the Orphan Basin (N49 43” 3.59549” and W46 38’ 16.14925” approximately 3,000m water depth, map attached).
The Stena DrillMAX is a drill ship and therefore no towing is involved. She is expected to arrive in Bay Bulls from Guyana around May 2nd and depart after about a week for the well site. Drilling in the Orphan Basin is expected to start around May 15th. These dates are flexbile and may shift slightly. Harvesters will be notified of any significant schedule changes.
Harvesters in the area can expect support vessels Horizon Arctic, Horizon Dragon, Avalon Sea and Brage Viking to be transiting directly to and from the Persephone well location for the duration of the program. There is a 500m safety exclusion zone around the drillship at the drill site. Operations are expected for ~120 days.
Harvesters with any questions or concerns can reach out to Industry Relations Representative, Katie Power at 709-576-7276 or kpower@ffaw.ca
