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%.
