Following completion, the Borr Norve jack-up has commenced drilling operations on the fourth production well (DHIBM-6H).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I would like to complement the drilling team for their efficient delivery of the third Hibiscus production well while extending our excellent HSE performance. We continue to see robust production rates and receive well data that confirms excellent reservoir quality. This supports our expectations for continued successive production growth in Gabon through 2023 and into early 2024 as we complete the drilling program,\u201d said Carl Krogh Arnet, the CEO of BW Energy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drilling campaign targets four Hibiscus Gamba and two Ruche Gamba wells which are expected to bring the total oil production up to approximately 40,000 barrels per day when all wells are completed in early 2024.
