TAG to spud Sidewinder tonight!TAG is scheduled to spud the Sidewinder-1 exploration well on September 15, 2010. The well is scheduled to reach a total measured depth of 1457m in approximately 10 drilling days to test this Miocene-aged prospect.
Sidewinder is one of several exploration prospects identified on permit-wide 3D seismic. TAG will have the option to immediately drill one or more additional follow-on exploration prospects from the same surface location, dependent on results. The Sidewinder-1 exploration well will target the Mt. Messenger Formation, the same producing formation as the offsetting Ngatoro and Kaimiro oil and gas fields.
And 15:th september is soon beginning in NZ...
