The West Capella, a drilling ship that will check whether actual gas and oil are buried in the promising structure of the "Great Whale" in the East Sea, departed from Busan Port and arrived in the working area.
The West Capella is ready to work in the field waters and will begin excavating for its first exploration drilling as early as the 19th.
The Ministry of Industry and the Korea National Oil Corporation believe that it will take about two months to secure samples through drill work.
After that, we plan to release the first investigation test results in the first half of next year after analysis.
However, some predict that additional business engines will weaken if there is no clear possibility in the first drilling amid the president's impeachment.
