Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Rome-based Eni tested appraisal well #2 Maha in Indonesia’s West Ganal block offshore Kalimantan. The Maha Field discovery was drilled to 2,970 m and area water depth is 1,115 m. It hit 43 m of gas-bearing, net sands with excellent reservoir characteristics in a Pliocene zone. The production test was limited by surface facilities and it flowed 34 MMcf per day. Wireline logging has been completed and cores have been collected. Two other appraisal wells are planned for the field and production could be tied back to the Jangkrik FPU. Eni is the operator of West Ganal Block with partners Neptune Energy and P.T. Pertamina, both holding a 30% stake.
