Chariot has initiated drilling of the OBA-1 well on the Dartois prospect in the Loukos Onshore licence in Morocco.
The well marks Chariot’s second drilling activity in the Loukos licence, having launched the RZK-1 well in early May 2024.
“We are pleased to be underway with our second well in this drilling campaign, having spud the OBA-1 well within short order of completing operations at Gaufrette,” stated Duncan Wallace, Technical Director of Chariot, adding “We are now testing an independent prospect at Dartois, which is in a different reservoir fairway and along trend from an existing gas discovery, and we look forward to providing an update on the results in due course.”
The Dartois prospect is estimated to hold 12 billion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas reserves.
