Eridal-1 is located on the R3 portion of the R3/R4 PSC Area in the Agadem Basin, south east Niger.\n \nAs with the other wells in this campaign, Eridal-1 is designed to evaluate potential oil pay in the Eocene Sokor Alternances as the primary target, with the secondary target of potential oil pay in the Eocene Upper Sokor being considered as upside. \n \nDrilling is expected to take c.30-35 days, using Rig GW-215. The well is planned to be drilled to a total depth of 2,592 metres. The Company plans to log all prospective sections within the well, with further logging employed for hydrocarbon bearing sections. In the success case, the well will be suspended for future re-entry and further evaluation, which could include well testing. \n \nThe Company intends to announce the final well results after the end of drilling and logging operations.\n \nA selection of photographs of Savannah's operations at Eridal-1 to date has been uploaded to the Company's website at https://www.savannah-petroleum.com/en/gallery.php. \n \n\n\n\nFor further information contact:\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSavannah Petroleum \n\n\n+44 (0) 20 3817 9844\n\n\n\n\nAndrew Knott, CEO\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nIsatou Semega-Janneh, CFO\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJessica Ross, VP Corporate Affairs\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nStrand Hanson (Nominated Adviser)\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7409 3494\n\n\n\n\nRory Murphy \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJames Spinney\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRitchie Balmer\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMirabaud (Joint Broker)\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7878 3362\n\n\n\n\nPeter Krens\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nEd Haig-Thomas\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nHannam & Partners (Joint Broker)\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7907 8500\n\n\n\n\nNeil Passmore\nAlejandro Demichelis\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSam Merlin\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n ...
