Interoil wrapping up Vikingo drill campaign
Interoil said Thursday it hopes to complete testing of its Vikingo prospect in Colombia by the end of the month after the site was lashed by heavy rain.
The Norwegian company and its partner SLS Energy identified three pay zones while drilling the Vikingo 1 exploratory well in the Llanos basin last month.
"Since then, weather conditions have been difficult with heavy rains making the access to the well site very difficult," Interoil said in a statement on Thursday.
Drilling equipment is currently being mobilized, with testing expected to begin within days, the company added.
Last month, Interoil revealed plans to drill eight exploration wells on block LLA-47 in the next three years.
