UK-based energy company Sound Oil said that drilling operation at the Geulis-1 exploration well in the Citarum PSC in Java was started on October 2.
?The well will be drilled as a deviated hole to a proposed total measured depth of 3,937 ft to target limestone and sandstone reservoirs in the Miocene, Parigi and Cibulakan formations,? said the company, which owns 20 percent stake in the Citarum PSC. It added that operations are scheduled for 42 days.
The well is located in the Jonggol area approximately 7 km east of the Pasundan-1 well and 16 km south of the Jatirarangon gas and oil discovery, the company said in a statement issued Wednesday. In this part of the block drilling conditions are expected to be less challenging than at the Cataka-1 and Jatayu-1 wells as the structural style is less complex and more drilling information is available from surrounding wells.
The Geulis prospect has been independently assessed by Fugro Robertson Limited to have gross P90-P50-P10 prospective gas resources of 9-26-55 Bscf respectively (P50 5 Bscf net to Sound Oil).
