Mubadala Petroleum Announces Results From Gulf Of Thailand Test
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Mubadala Petroleum, based in Abu Dhabi, announced results from an exploration well in the Gulf of Thailand at #6-Manora in the G1/48 concession. The operator reported that the well was drilled to a true vertical depth of 2,412 m and it was targeting the L fault block prospect. Interpretation of the logging-while-drilling data indicates a 5.8-m oil column in the primary reservoir section at a depth of 2,229 m. Based on these results, a sidetrack, #6ST-Manora, was drilled to test the M prospect. The sidetrack was drilled to 2,387 m and logging-while-drilling data indicated 5.9 m of oil in three separate reservoir sandstones, each of which exhibited evidence of an oil water contact. Tap Oil holds a 30% interest and Northern Gulf Petroleum holds the remaining 10%.
