Appointment of Drilling Manager
Progress towards drilling of gas appraisal well in Morocco
Chariot (AIM: CHAR), the Africa focused transitional energy company, is pleased to announce the appointment of David Brecknock to the role of Drilling Manager, with responsibility for the Company's planned Anchois gas appraisal well within the Lixus licence, offshore Morocco.
The objectives of the drilling campaign are to further evaluate the resource volumes of the Anchois gas field to unlock the initial development, to provide a future producer well location and potentially drill the additional prospective sands with the aim of establishing a larger resource base for longer term growth.
David has considerable experience with high profile deepwater offshore drilling with over 20 years of international experience gained with Enterprise, Shell, BG, Devon, Perenco, Ophir as well as leading Chariot's drilling in Namibia in 2018.
Adonis Pouroulis, Acting CEO of Chariot, commented:
"I am delighted to welcome David back to the Company. He played a pivotal role in Chariot's previous drilling campaign in Namibia which was operated safely, on time and under budget, and we expect him to play a similarly important part in our exciting Anchois gas appraisal well. We look forward to keeping the market up to speed over the coming months as we get closer to drilling."
