NordAq mobilizing drilling rig

NordAq Energy Inc. is mobilizing equipment for its winter exploration program.

The independent recently moved the Doyon Arctic Fox rig to Deadhorse in preparation for its trip to Smith Bay, where the company is drilling the Tulimaniq No. 1 exploration well this winter, NordAq President Robert Warthen told Petroleum News on Dec. 26.

The company plans to drill the well near the delta of the Ikpikpuk River. The well is primarily designed to collect rock samples and obtain vertical seismic information, although the company said it would perform a production test if the well encounters oil-bearing zones.
