The Dominican Republic has launched its first ever bid round in the hope to attract oil companies to further explore the country’s potential hydrocarbon resources.
The exploration and production of hydrocarbons in the Caribbean has been somewhat overlooked in recent times despite its close proximity to major oil producing areas.
On the 9th July the drill ship West Capella moved off location, 53 km to the north west of the Caribbean island of Aruba. She spent some 30 days drilling the Bon Bini Prospect for Repsol and partner Total in approximately 538m of water.
