i3 Energy plc, an independent oil and gas company with assets and operations in the UK, is pleased to announce that the Borgland Dolphin semi-submersible drilling rig has arrived on location at the Liberator field and that the LPt-02 pilot well has now been spud. The Company will provide LPt-02 drilling results to the market when the well has reached total depth and acquired data has been evaluated.
