The development drilling programme icludes drilling and completion of about 15 wells, including ten producers and five injectors.

The joint venture will have invested about $300m in the development by the end of the first quarter of 2015.

The Manora field was discovered in November 2009 by the Manora-1 exploration well, which flowed at a rate of more than 9,000 barrels of oil per day from three zones.

The field was further appraised with the drilling of a further three wells. Field development was approved in July 2012.

First oil from Manora followed the hook-up and commissioning phase and parallel operations drilling of the first four production wells.

All platform facilities were built in fabrication yards in Thailand. The facilities include a wellhead processing platform connected through subsea pipelines to a floating storage and offloading vessel.
