At present the team is interpreting the seismic data and preparing an evaluation program providing for the drilling of exploratory and appraisal wells at a number of CTPDW block structures in 2011 - 2012, including the Dzata structure. All the wells will be approximately 1,900 meters deep.

The agenda of the visit by the Ghanaian delegation includes a trip to the offshore production platform located at Yu.
