The Borr Gerd jack-up rig, operated by Borr Drilling, is scheduled to arrive this month, with drilling activities set to kick off in early July. Over the following 100 days, the team will drill three well-bores.
The first, an appraisal well, will gather updated data from deeper reservoir units. Next, two horizontal production wells will be drilled and completed in the H6 reservoir, where subsurface analysis points to significant untapped reserves, despite previous output.
Drilling is expected to wrap up by October, when a Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) will connect to the new wells. A floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) is also scheduled to arrive in mid-September.
Production is set to begin in October 2025, targeting around 16,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd).
The Seme Field redevelopment is structured in phases, starting with restoration of production, alongside detailed data collection to guide future planning. The team has already reprocessed 2007 3D seismic data to support this phase.
In Phase 2, the company will explore further opportunities in the H7 and H8 reservoirs while also considering additional drilling in H6.
Lime Petroleum, the project operator, is a subsidiary of Rex International Holding, an oil and gas firm based in Singapore.
