Linda-3 is being drilled as a deviated well through the subsea jacket of the recently installed Linda Platform. The well will be completed within the Biggada Sandstone reservoir at a subsurface location approximately 1.5 km northwest of the platform.

Further operations following the completion of Linda-3 include pipeline installation and tie-in to Varanus Island before first gas and condensate production anticipated in mid April 2004.

The Linda platform has six well slots and has been located to access gas and condensate from the Linda, Rose and Lee fields. Initial production will be from the one well, Linda-3.

Following the completion of Linda-3 it is expected that the rig will be mobilised to drill the Taunton-4 and Blackthorne-1 step out wells in TP/7.
