In a statement this morning, operator Roc said that it had still not demobilised the Premium Wilcraft rig from the Frankland-1 exploration well in WA-286-P due to “adverse weather conditions outside normal rig operating limits”.

Roc said the rig would move to the Perserverance-1 wellsite in WA-285-P, 80km north of Frankland-1, once weather permits.

Participating interests in WA-286-P are Roc (37.5%), AWE Oil (27.5%), Wandoo Petroleum (24%), Arc (6%) and CIECO Exploration and Production (5%).
