Drilling of the Alameda-1 oil exploration well in Cuba has resumed following a shutdown caused by a shallow high-pressure zone.<\/p>\n

Alameda-1 is a key well that spudded in Block 9 on September 13 2021 by a joint venture of Melbana Energy and Sonangol.<\/p>\n

Drilling resumed on December 16 and is currently at a depth of 2,093 meters. The primary N and Alameda structures are still to be drilled.<\/p>\n
