Leni Gas & Oil (LSE: LGO), the Trinidad-focused oil explorer, declared that the fifth of its planned development wells at the Goudron field has been successfully drilled to a depth of 1,946 feet. Well GY-668, which was successfully spudded earlier this month, intersected 191 feet of net oil play in the Goudron Sandstones.
It is the fourth and final well at the drill site. Neil Ritson, LGOs chief executive, said: We are continuing to deliver a successful drilling programme at Goudron and are now looking forward to completing these four wells for production.
