An offshore Vietnam gas and condensate was announced by Eni at exploration well #1-X Ken Baul in Block 114 in the Song Hong Basin. Well results indicate a significant potential of the hydrocarbon accumulation, according to the company. It hit several intervals of gas and condensate sandstone interbedded with Miocene age shale, with an estimated net reservoir thickness in excess of 100 m. The well had technical issues and was plugged and abandoned however, a drilling campaign is planned in 2020 to assess the exploration potential in the Song Hong Basin. The discovery was drilled to 3,606 m and is in 95 m of water. Eni is the operator of four blocks in the Song Hong and Phu Khanh Basins including Block 114 and #1X-Ken Bau with 50% interest in partnership with Essar holding the remaining 50%.
