SANGATTA WEST PSC (East Kalimantan, 24% interest)
Well completion and dewatering operations at Sangatta West have begun on all four wells drilled to date. The early results, whilst still dewatering, have already shown good indications for gas production potential in three of the four wells. Due to some produced hydrocarbon fluids several of the wells have been intermittently offline, and planning is underway to allow for the installation of additional phase separation by the end of the year to ensure continuity of production. Work has commenced on a reserve certification process for the permit area.
TANJUNG ENIM PSC (South Sumatra, 45% interest)
The second core hole at Tanjung Enim is being drilled and has reached the targeted coal packages. The coal thickness, gas content and permeability measurements taken have proven sufficiently positive such that an appraisal pilot has been approved for immediate drilling and will commence following the completion of drilling of the current well. This will maintain continuity of operations on the site and allow for demonstration of gas flows at the earliest opportunity, including to potential local customers. (end of excerpt)
