AuDAX Resources Ltd is pleased to announce that the invitation to tender for drilling services of a semi submersible rig to drill the Sambuca prospect has been sent to fifteen drilling contractors this week.
The Sambuca prospect is located in two contiguous Exploration Permits, in G.R15.PU, offshore the island of Pantelleria in Italian waters and in the Kerkouane Permit offshore northeast Tunisia. The Sambuca prospect appears to be one of the largest undrilled structures in the Mediterranean Sea with a total P50 unrisked recoverable resource potential of 270 million barrels of oil equivalent. The total P50 unrisked recoverable resource of the mapped prospects in both permits could exceed one billion barrels of oil equivalent. Subject to availability of a suitable rig it is expected to drill the Sambuca well in Q1/Q2 of next year.
