88 Energy Ltd (LON:88E) has shared a number of key facts with investors ahead of the hotly anticipated Charlie-1 well in Alaska.
The company, in a statement, said it had updated its investor presentation to include details about the pending drill programme.
Rig and well teams mobilised earlier this month. Drilling is expected to start in “late February”. The well will be drilled down to a depth of 11,400 feet.

Drilling, logging while drilling, and wireline logging operations are expected to take a total of 30 days to complete. Subsequently, subject to initial results, the well will undergo flow testing with up to two production tests slated. Each test is expected to take 14 days.
Altogether, 88 Energy expects that the whole well programme will take around 60 days to deliver. It added that the reporting of results will be “determined by materiality and continuous disclosure obligations.”
Earlier this month, 88 Energy raised A$5mln of new capital with the funding expected to cover any potential costs above those carried by Premier Oil PLC (LON:PMO) – which in 2019 agreed a farm-in deal to participate in the project.
Premier is paying up a total of US$23mln to drill Charlie which is designed to be an appraisal of the Malguk-1 discovery made by BP in 1991.
