Deep Offshore Test Planned for Umm al-Quwain 

Consolidated International Petroleum Corporation and Placid Oil are preparing to spudd a new offshore exploratory well in Umm al-Quwain, according to UAE press reports. The well is to be drilled to a target depth of 15,000 ft. following extensive seismic work undertaken in 1984 which has indicated the presence of hydrocarbons in the area.
