Eco Atlantic Oil & Gas Ltd. (EOG.V) on Friday said drilling operations have started at the Jethro-Lobe prospect on the Orinduik block, offshore Guyana.

The energy company is exploring the block with partners Tullow Oil PLC (TLW.LN) and Total E&P Guyana BV, a subsidiary of Total S.A. (FP.FR), which hold working interests of 60% and 25% respectively. Tullow is the operator.

Eco said it is fully funded for its share of up to six potential exploration or development wells on the Orinduik Block in addition to the Jethro Lobe and Joe exploration wells, as announced in June.
