The field is developed by the Italian energy company Eni.〔 〕 ==History== Eni submitted an application to drill, complete and test five exploratory wells on the Appaloosa prospect in 2005. Two wells were drilled in 2007 by the Transocean-owned drillship ''Deepwater Millennium''. However, oil was not discovered. In May 2008, oil was discovered by the Transocean-owned semi-submersible drilling rig ''GSF Celtic Sea'' The field development was approved in December 2008. A development well is drilled by semi-submersible drilling rig ''Transocean Amirante''.〔 In June 2010, Eni stopped development of the project due to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Appaloosa Oil Field」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
