Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Announces Delay on 107D Horizontal Sidetrack
The Company provides the following Operational Update from its operations on the Tartaruga 107 D Horizontal sidetrack Brazil.
107-D
As part of the current drilling operations at 107-D, the crew was pulling on the drill string to free a piece of lodged equipment. Maha, (though operating within the operating tolerances of the Drilling Rig and drill pipe), experienced an unexpected accidental parting of the drill-string at approximately 70 meters. The parting of the drill string did cause some damage to the topdrive system on the drilling rig the extent to which is currently being evaluated. As of today, all operations are suspended until damage to the Drilling Rig is assessed and Maha develops its revised drilling plan, cost estimates and schedule. Maha expects to make further announcements in this regard in the next 7-10 days.
Jonas Lindvall commented "This is an unusual incident and we are investigating why the drill-pipe parted whilst operating within normal operating limits. It is particularly frustrating that it happened so close to the end of the horizontal sidetrack."
