Senegal drilling update: Rig move to SNE-1 location
The Transocean Cajun Express Semi-Submersible rig has been moved from the FAN-1 well location to the SNE-1 well location whilst ongoing maintenance is being completed.
The FAN-1 well has been drilled to 1,200 metres below the seabed where 20” casing was cemented completing the ‘top hole’ portion of the well. The rig has then moblised to the SNE-1 location to most efficiently utilise the rig by drilling the ‘top hole’ portion of this second sell. After 20” casing is cemented on the SNE-1 well, the rig will return to the FAN-1 well location in five to seven days, and drill to the total planned depth.
A map showing the location of both the FAN-1 and SNE-1 wells is shown in the figure below.

About FAR
FAR (ASX: FAR) is an independent oil and gas explorer with high impact assets in East and West Africa. FAR holds a significant acreage position in the emerging exploration hot spots of East and West Africa transform margins. FAR has identified a sizeable prospect and lead portfolio in its acreage that is estimated to contain prospective resources of over 7 billion barrels of oil on a gross un-risked best estimate basis.
FAR recently signed two farm in deals with ConocoPhillips and Cairn Energy a leading UK independent to secure its share of funding for 2 high impact offshore exploration wells in Senegal to be drilled in early 2014.
Recent takeover activity, drilling and major gas discoveries close to FAR’s Kenyan acreage have heightened interest in the region generally and in FAR’s acreage position specifically. Exploration activity is ramping up in the Kenya offshore arena with 6 high impact wells expected to be drilled in the next 12 months.

Disclaimers
The estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project(s) relate to undiscovered accumulations. These estimates have both an associated risk of discovery and a risk of development. Further exploration appraisal and evaluation is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.
