British firm Premier Oil Plc announced Monday the Anoa development well (WL-5X) in the Natuna Sea Block A PSC has been completed and the well will be brought on production in early August.
The company said in a statement that the well achieved an equipment limited flow rate of 28mmscf/d, significantly higher than the 18mmscf/d rate achieved with the original well test, and estimated reserves for this well alone are approximately 75-100 Bcf.
?The outcome of the long-term production test from this well will help to prove up the production contribution from the deeper zones within the Anoa field,? the statement said.
The Anoa development well was first drilled in 2012. The original well discovered productive gas in the Lama Formation but the higher pressure observed required platform modifications to allow gas production through the existing facilities.
Natuna Sea Bock A PSC is operated and 65 percent owned by Premier with the remaining 35 percent owned by Mitsui Oil Expl. Co.
