Wednesday, January 23 2002 - 03:20 AM WIB
Perth based oil and gas firm Matrix Oil NL today announced its L1 well had been placed back on production and is currently flowing at an average rate of 2,500 barrel of oil per day (BOPD). The production well is located at the northern end of the Company operated L Field in the Langsa Technical Assistance Contract (TAC) area in the offshore North Sumatra Basin.
The L1 well was taken out of production on 21 December 2001 following the detection of a leak of glycol in one of the flow-lines to its sub-sea production system. The well has been flowing at a rate of approximately 3,800 BOPD before the leak in the flow-line was detected.
Meanwhile the L2 well, located at the southern end of the field, continues to flow at between 2,500 and 3,000 barrels per day.
Matrix has 90 percent of working interest in Langsa TAC. (robert)
