In a separate announcement, the company said it has decided to maintain the P6 well, at its Lancaster field operations, on natural flow at a rate of 9,000 – 11,000 bopd to fulfil the minimum lifting quantity for the next Lancaster lifting, which is scheduled for the week commencing 14 June 2021.

Earlier in the week, the company announced that the electric submersible pump in the P6 well had tripped, causing the well to be temporarily shut in.
