The well's geographical coordinates will be:

Water depth at the site is 125 metres.
The well will be drilled by Bredford Dolphin, which is a mobile drilling facility of the Aker H-3 type. It was built in 1977 and significantly upgraded in 1999. The facility is registered in Singapore and classified by DNV GL.
Bredford Dolphin was issued with an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) by the PSA in June 2007.
