UK oil, gas firm Premier Oil has reported that it has drilled three wells in the first half of the year in Indonesia, with two of which having encountered hydrocarbons.
The most significant of these was the Premier-operated Anoa Deep well (WL-5X), which discovered gas beneath the Anoa field on the Natuna Sea Block A. Premier said in a presentation. It said that this discovery, which tested at 17 mmscfd from fractured Lama Formation sandstone reservoirs, has opened up a new play for Premier.
Integrated studies are now being conducted to follow-on Lama prospects identified on the block for drilling, with the first well planned for the second half of 2013. These works are part of the Anoa Phase 4 project, which is the largest of a number of engineering campaigns aimed at enhancing the Anoa facility.
The Anoa Phase 4 project will develop around 200 bcf of undeveloped proven reserves.
