Oman: BP reaches Khazzan milestone

BP Oman announced on 23 May the successful drilling and completion of the 50th well at its Khazzan gas project in Block 61. It is the final well targeted for completion, enabling first gas to be delivered later this year. The 50 wells will enable production of 1bcf of natural gas a day, rising to 1.5 bcf/d once the second phase of the project is up and running in 2020. More than 300 wells are scheduled to be drilled over the lifetime of the project.
