" Revenue from oil sales during the period was higher than the first quarter supported by an above - market average realised price of $ 75 / barrel , while revenue from LNG sales climbed 14 % . " Lower oil production due to scheduled maintenance activities and adverse weather impacts was partly offset by a strong quarterly performance at Pluto , which achieved 97 % reliability .

In July , the first of two drilling vessels arrived in Senegal and the drilling campaign commenced for the project's 23 wells .
