Pura Vida has secured a drill rig to sink two wells in the Mazagan permit, offshore Morocco.

Africa-focused oil and gas explorer Pura Vida (ASX: PVD) announced a major milestone – securing a drill rig to sink two wells in the Mazagan permit, offshore Morocco.

It has executed a rig share agreement with Kosmos, which has the Atwood Achiever Deepwater Drillship under a long term hire.

Two slots have been assigned for the drilling of wells – the first will be used to drill the Toubkal-1 well, expected to begin in January 2015, while the second slot will be in the second half of 2015.

Pura Vida’s managing director Damon Neaves, said: “We are now two years into the work program for the Mazagan permit.

“Securing the rig for the two well drilling campaign is a major milestone which allows us to test key prospects and provides the opportunity for an early assessment of the value of the permit.”
