RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 24 -- Brazil's Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) said it soon will conclude the drilling of a deep well in the central-north section of Block BM-S-10 in the Santos basin off Brazil.
Transocean Inc.'s Deepwater Expedition drillship is drilling the 1-RJS-617D well, recently below 6,800.
Drilling of the well, in 2,038 m of water, began in December 2004. Petrobras estimates the cost at more than $50 million.
