All about to begin here, rig on the way with other equipment ready to drill the appraisal well on the Saffron 2 field on the 23rd may. ......
.....
Rig mobilisation to the field will commence on 9th May 2021, targeting commencement of Saffron-2 drilling on or around 23 May 2021
-- All equipment (including various re-usable items from Perseverance-1) have been mobilised to Trinidad, along with necessary contractor personnel
-- Design of the Saffron-2 well includes a production completion, allowing for immediate oil production and sales on a successful well, with anticipated rates of 200 - 300 bopd, which it is estimated would provide more than US$1.8 million per annum of cashflow to the Company. Based on these pre-drill estimates, Saffron-2 would have a payback of 12-18 months and an ROI of in in excess of 200 per cent.
-- Following a successful Saffron-2 well, a further five to nine production wells are currently planned to be drilled in H2 2021 as part of an overall field development of up to 30 wells
-- These further five to nine wells are projected to deliver average daily production of up to 1,000 - 1,500 bopd, which it is estimated would provide US$8 million - $12 million of annual cashflows going forward (based on a US$60 / bbl oil price)
