The Isobel Deep well near the Falkland Islands has been temporarily suspended after a problem was detected with the BOP, Falkland Oil and Gas Ltd. (FOGL) said in a news release.
The BOP has been brought to surface for inspection and repairs, which are expected to take from 10 and 14 days. While the repairs are underway, the rig will be utilized to drill the top-hole sections and set the conductor on the Chatham and/or Jayne East locations, according to the release.
The rig will return to the Isobel Deep location to continue drilling once the BOP repairs have been completed, and an operational update will be issued at that time.
FOGL has 40% interest in the license areas. Partners are Premier Oil, operator, and Rockhopper Exploration.
