UK-based Salamander Energy has submitted a Plan of Development (PoD) for the Tutung discovery in Bontang PSC, East Kalimantan.
The PoD has been submitted to upstream authority SKK Migas for approval, the firm said in its half-year report Thursday.
The firm announced in May 2012 the successful appraisal of the Tutung gas-condensate discovery through the drilling of the Tutung Alpha-3 (TA-3) appraisal well.
The TA-3 well was spudded on March 25, 2012 and drilled to a total depth of 3,351 meters true vertical depth sub-sea using the MB Century-28 land rig. The TA-3 well found stacked sequences of deltaic sandstones in the target section on depth prognosis, Salamander said in a filing.
Sandstones within the target formation were found to be gas-bearing, and individual units of up to 15 meters gross thickness were encountered.
The Tutung discovery is located in the Bontang PSC and is approximately 37 km northeast of the producing Sangatta field. Salamander is the operator of the Bontang PSC.
