HJV partner Tap Oil told the Australian Stock Exchange today that Hector-1 was the first of three deviated wells in the permit to be drilled from a single surface location. It is being drilled towards a target 1.7km southwest of this location.

Yesterday morning, Tap said the well, which is designed to explore for hydrocarbons in the Flag Sandstones, was being drilled ahead at a depth of 74.5m.

The well is expected to take about 11 days to reach the planned total vertical depth, which has not been specified.

The Harriet JV comprises Apache Northwest (68.5%), Kufpec Australia (19.2771%) and Tap (Harriet) (12.2229%).
