Jasmine Energy subsidiary Masirah Oil Limited will provide a revised schedule for its three-well development drilling program at the Yumna field in Block 50 offshore Oman.

The work is planned with the 2017-built Energy Emerger jack-up rig, operated by Northern Offshore Drilling Operations. The unit was secured under a multi-well drilling contract signed in January 2026.

Energy Emerger had previously worked on the same asset during the operator’s 2024 drilling campaign.

Block 50 covers about 17,000 square kilometers in the Gulf of Masirah, east of Oman. The Yumna field achieved first oil in February 2020. Its field development plan approval and declaration of commerciality followed in July 2020.

Masirah Oil Limited is an indirect 87.5% subsidiary of Jasmine Energy, part of Singapore’s Rex International. It operates Block 50 and holds a 100% interest in the concession.
