HOUSTON, Nov. 27 -- Endeavour International Corp., Houston, said its Columbus well in the UK North Sea encountered a gross gas column of at least 125 ft in the Palaeocene Forties formation.
Testing operations are under way on Block 23/16f with results expected by midmonth. It is anticipated that additional appraisal drilling will be required.
Endeavour is operator of the drilling and testing operations and holds a 25% working interest in the license, which is operated by Serica Energy PLC.
