HOUSTON, Nov. 26 -- A unit of Repsol-YPF SA has a gas and condensate discovery at its Sungai Kenawang well on Jambi Merang Block in Sumatra, Indonesia.
The well was drilled to 2,580 m TD and found a 124-m gas and condensate column in the Baturaja.
On test, the well produced 380,000 cu m/day (13.4 MMcfd) of gas and 370 b/d of 52°-gravity condensate. Repsol-YPF estimates the well could produce up to 2.5 million cu m/day (88.3 MMcfd) of gas and 3,000 b/d of condensate.
The national oil company, Pertamina, already has said the Pulau Gading discovery on the same block is commercial.
The Sungai Kenawang well is "considerably larger" than the Pulau Gading well, said Repsol-YPF, which plans to process and market production from the two discoveries together to fulfill a Malaysian contract.
YPF Indonesia Ltd. and Pertamina jointly operate the block, with 25% and 50% interests respectively. Amerada Hess Corp. has 25%.
