Premier Oil BV said it has successfully tested the Lama formation within the Anoa field on Natuna Sea Block A.
The WL-5 development well on Natuna Sea Block A was deepened to a total depth of 11,012 feet to investigate the exploration potential of the Lama formation within the Anoa Field. The well encountered approximately 300 feet of fractured Lama sandstones, it said.
The Lama formation has now been tested over the interval 10,658 feet MD to 10,770 feet MD and flowed gas at a rate of 17 mmscfd through a 48/64 inch choke.
The results of the test will be integrated with the log and seismic data to determine the ultimate recoverable resource of this deeper reservoir that will be produced through the Anoa facility, it said.
The company added the West Callisto rig will move to drill the Biawak Besar prospect on Natuna Sea Block A. The results of this well are expected in April 2012.
Premier operates and holds a 28.667 percent interest in Natuna Sea Block A and partners with KUFPEC Indonesia (Natuna) BV, Hess and Petronas.
