(Westmount Energy, 7.June.2021) — Westmount Energy Limited (UK AIM: WTE.L, USA OTCQB: WMELF) noted the announcement by the Maritime Administration Department, Guyana, that the Stena Carron drillship will re-commence exploration drilling operations at the Jabillo-1 wellsite on the Canje Block, offshore Guyana on the 5 June 2021.
Jabillo-1 is the second of 3 exploration wells scheduled for drilling on the Canje block in 20211. Previously published information indicates that Jabillo-1 is a circa 1,000 MMbbl oil prospect targeting a Late Cretaceous, Liza-age equivalent, basin floor fan1.
