Afina-1x: offshore for a deepwater discovery

Afina-1x was a major deepwater oil and gas discovery by Springfield E&P, the independent Ghanaian energy company, in late 2019. We went offshore to document it: the flights out to the drillship, the crews on the drill floor and in the control room, the first oil samples coming up, and the rig at dusk and after dark.
