Red Emperor Resources has said the Shabeel North well in Puntland, Somalia, continued drilling through the entire Jesomma reservoir section and has reached a depth of 2,200 meters. The section contained several additional sands with oil and gas shows. The firm will now drill deeper to 3,400m, which is expected to take a further 15-20 days.
