Block 9, Alameda-3: Appraisal Update
Highlights
- Total depth reached at 3880mMD. Core obtained. Logs indicate significant natural fracturing.
- Slotted liner run in hole before well test operations commenced on 9 June over a 238mMD interval in the Marti reservoir.
- Oil observed on the drill string and high formation pressure consistent with findings from Alameda-1 and once again demonstrating the presence of oil very deep in the formation.
- As yet no uncontaminated sample obtained at surface, possibly due to reaction between drilling muds and the reservoir. Downhole gauges being recovered for analyses along with fluid samples before continuing testing.
- Preparations for testing of the shallower Alameda formation now underway.
