HOUSTON, Aug. 24 -- SOCO International PLC, London, said its wildcat well TGT-1X confirmed the presence of oil in sedimentary clastic reservoirs on eastern Block 16-1 off Vietnam.
Drilled on the Te Giac Trang structure, the well was the first on the H prospect, SOCO said. On a drillstem test of Miocene Lower Bach Ho at 2,701-2,760 m, TGT-1X flowed 8,566 b/d of 37° gravity crude oil and 4.86 MMcfd of gas through an 80/64-in. choke. An additional 33 m of net pay was not perforated due to limited equipment and time constraints.
A brief test over a deeper Oligocene interval indicated oil shows, but the formation was tight and deemed to be noncommercial.
