discovery on Block A Aceh in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The Matang-1 exploratory well has been drilled to 7,893 ft true vertical depth . It penetrated a gross gas column of at least 90 ft in the Oligo-Miocene Upper Bampo limestone formation, the
Colombia’s Llanos basin. Wireline logs at the Las Maracas-8, drilled in a record 10 days, indicate 34 ft true vertical depth of net pay in the Mirador formation and 22 ft TVD in middle Gacheta. The well is being cased for completion from
margin west of the Shetland Islands. BP spudded the 213/25c-1V well on Mar. 25, 2012, and went to 4,700 m true vertical depth . It encountered several reservoir objectives, the most significant of which was the North Uist prospect, said
Sangatta PSC in the North Kutei basin offshore East Kalimantan, Indonesia. While drilling to the present 2,535 m true vertical depth subsea, the well penetrated a predominantly shale-prone section throughout the Pliocene. The company said
averaging more than 20% over the last 3 days of swab testing. The well went to 2,380 m measured depth, 1,870 m true vertical depth , and found 18 m of net pay in the two Miocene Mount Messenger intervals. Ecopetrol tests Meta Province heavy oil
quarter of 2013. The company described the proposed well as to have a 4,300-ft horizontal leg at 4,500 ft true vertical depth and said it is acquiring seismic to help with geosteering. The dolomitic reservoir is interpreted to extend over
Heno sandstones, and same formation as on the Ravn structure (OGJ Online, Dec. 18, 2009). The well went to a true vertical depth of 4,431 m below sea level in 52 m of water and produced oil and gas on a production test. Then the two sidetracks
presence of an oil-bearing sandstone reservoir in the Vivian formation beginning at 9,408 ft MD, 8,851 ft true vertical depth , with an approximate gross oil column thickness of 99 ft and 53 ft net pay thickness.
Meanwhile Bahar, in which Greenfields owns a 33.33% interest, drilled Gum Deniz Well 715 on Platform 2 to 3,491 m true vertical depth , and initial analysis of open hole wireline logs indicates the well encountered 159 m of potential pay in 11 zones
