Maersk rig sets sail for hotly tipped Venus

Maersk rig sets sail for hotly tipped Venus

The Maersk Voyager has set sail for the Venus site, offshore Namibia, where it will drill perhaps the most hotly anticipated well of the year in Africa for TotalEnergies.

Maersk Drilling’s seventh-generation drillship began drilling the Ondjaba-1 well for TotalEnergies in October. It was carrying out this well in Angola’s Block 48, in a record 3,628 metres of water.

The French company has not revealed the results of the Angolan well.
