Petroceltic International plc provides an update on its western Black Sea drilling operations where the GSP Prometeu rig has completed the first of two exploration wells planned to be drilled offshore Romania this year.

Following the drilling of the Cobalcescu South-1 well in Block Ex-28, the Prometeu jack-up rig has returned to its operations base in Constanta to conduct some unscheduled but necessary maintenance works. This has resulted in the deferral of the next exploration well in the drilling programme, Muridava-1 on Block Ex-27, which is now expected to spud at the end of the first quarter 2014.
