Jubilant Energy says that the North Atharamura-1 well was spudded on 12 February in the Tripura block. This is the second exploratory well to be drilled under Exploration Phase-II and the first well of Phase-II to be drilled on the Atharamura anticline. The well is located 6.7 kilometers south-west and up-dip from the Phase-I exploratory well Ambasa North.

The North Atharamura-1 will be a vertical well, targeted to a total depth of 4,000 metres Measured Depth ("MD") and is estimated to take approximately three to four months to drill.

The North Atharamura-1 well is designed to explore the hydrocarbon potential of supra-thrust Middle Bhuban and Lower Bhuban sands and sub-thrust Lower Bhuban, Renji and Jenam sands. This will be the first exploratory well in the Block targeting deeper objectives beyond the Middle Bhuban in the Atharamura anticline.
