Marathon Oil, the operator of the block, will utilise the Noble semi-submersible drilling rig Amos Runner to drill the well in roughly 1,440 metres water depth, with the well having a planned total depth of 5,500 metres.

The well is located approximately 11km northeast of the Neptune discovery which encountered a net oil play of 34.7 metres at the Neptune-7 well, 500 foot net pay at Neptune-5 and two reservoirs with a total 150ft net oil pay at Neptune-3.

Woodside holds a 16.665% working interest in the leases that comprise the Kansas prospect.
