ITALY'S Eni and US supermajor ExxonMobil have both delayed to next year the spud dates for wildcats they plan to drill in a frontier play off Mozambique. Eni was originally due this quarter to spud a probe in Area A5-A in the Angoche basin this quarter, but in an effort to reduce upstream spending the spud date was postponed to the second quarter of 2021.

In ExxonMobil-operated Area A5-B, a similar amount of 3D seismic has been acquired and interpreted.
