The Markisa prospect was identified on 3D seismic data acquired by the joint venture in 2009.
Markisa-1 is being drilled as a deviated well to test a sandstone reservoir that produced oil in the 1920s and early 1930s in an adjacent fault block.
The well will also evaluate several secondary targets within the Miocene Belait Formation and is expected to intersect the main Belait thrust fault.
The well is designed to a total depth of about 1,335m and is expected to take about 28 days to drill.
