Oil and gas producer Hess Corp. said Tuesday it has suspended drilling at a deepwater well in the Gulf of Mexico because of drilling rig inspection requirements.
The company said it plans to resume drilling at its Pony No. 2 well, on Green Canyon Block 468 in late September.
Costs related to rig shutdown, repair and startup in the fall will be incurred by contract driller Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc.
Shares of Hess fell $1.10 to $57.32 in morning trading.
