BP to drill for oil in eastern Jordan | Al Akhbar English

BP last week began drilling the first well in its concession in the Risha natural gas field in eastern Jordan, near the border with Iraq, the British oil major said on Monday.

The drilling follows two years of preparation and a "very successful 5,000 square km seismic acquisition program in 2011", BP said.

The well is expected to take three to four months to complete, and a number of international oil and gas service contractors as well as local firms are involved, it said.
