It may not reach Cuba until the second half of December...delaying the first well's start until January.
The Scarabeo 9 departed from Singapore in late August.
It is now reportedly off the coast of West Africa.
When it arrives...it will be used to drill at least 3 wells...in attempts to tap into what experts say are conservative estimates...2bn bbls of usable oil.
