InterOil Corp.'s (IOC) said Sept. 18 it has completed a flow test on its Triceratops-3 appraisal well in Papua New Guinea.
The well, in Petroleum Retention License 39, has flowed gas at 17.1 MMscf/d and condensate at an average of 200.3 bbl/d.
Stabilized flow rates were obtained over several five-hour intervals and were measured through a 72/64-inch choke with the flow constrained by tubing. The well reached a total depth of 2,090 m (6,856 ft) measured depth from the rig rotary table.
The company said its Antelope-4 side track appraisal well in Petroleum Retention License 15 has intersected the reservoir 36 m (118 ft) higher than the original Antelope-4 penetration.
The well is being prepared for casing before drilling through the reservoir.
