Ensure safe and effective evaluation of the target formations

Allow testing and production from the well in the event a discovery is made

Challenges

Gumbo and lost circulation zones up hole

High pressure and temperature downhole

Somewhat narrow window between pore pressure and fracture gradient

Current plan is to develop a shore base near New Amsterdam in the mouth of the Berbice River

New bridge and existing shipping channel will provide good access to drilling location without competing for dock space in the Georgetown area
