The Block IX Joint Venture drilled the Frida-1 exploration well during 2009 to test a Cretaceous aged carbonate raft play. The well did not encounter any hydrocarbons. Ophir had elected not to participate in the drilling of Frida-1 and the well was therefore drilled as a sole risk operation by the remaining Joint Venture participants.
