HOUSTON, Dec. 9 – Salamander Energy PLC said a rig is expected to be under contract later this month to spud the first of back-to-back appraisal wells in January 2011 near the 1993 Dao Ruang discovery in West Khorat, Thailand.
A Texaco Inc. unit discovered Dao Ruang on the L15/50 block. The discovery has a potential gross mean resource of 500 bcf of gas.
The appraisal wells target the fracture network in the Permian carbonate reservoir as mapped on recently acquired high-resolution 3D seismic.
