BA’ADARA - ExxonMobil has spudded at the Pirmam block in Erbil province and has erected a rig in preparation for drilling at the al-Qush block in Ninewa province, breaking ground for the first time in the super major's six-block deal with the autonomous Kurdistan region.
Visits to the areas near both drilling sites show Exxon has mobilized Weatherford rig 888 to al-Qush, though drilling has not started, and Weatherford rig 887 to Pirmam, at the well called Maseif-1.
