Re: OEX - Oilex
Announcement from Oilex today, 15 minutes from open and not much movement planned looking at the OEX Market Depth, guess a lot of punters are playing the wait and see game on this one now, still it is early in the day.
TIMOR SEA DRILLING UPDATE – LOLOTOE-1 WELL
Oilex Ltd (ASX/AIM: OEX) advises that the Lolotoe-1 well spudded at 02:30 (WST) on 17 December 2009. At 16:00 (WST) on 23 December 2009 the well is at a depth of 2,496 metres preparing to cement 13 3/8” casing. The Lolotoe-1 well is the second well of a 2 well program in the Timor Sea contract area JPDA 06-103.
Time of report: 18.00 (WST) on 23 December 2009
Status: Preparing to cement 13 3/8” casing
Operations:
• Well spudded 02:30 on 17 December 2009 (WST)
• Surface casing set at 176 metres
• 17 ½” hole drilled to 2,496 metres
• 13 3/8” casing run to 2,491 metres
Objectives
Elang/Plover sands (primary)
Flamingo sands (secondary)
Planned total depth (TD): Approximately 3,985 metres
Days from spud to TD: 20 – 25 days on a trouble free basis
The Lolotoe prospect is a robust 3 way dip faulted anticline having about 300 metres of vertical relief. The well is targeting a mean prospective oil resource of 90 million barrels (100% basis) in the primary objective Elang/Plover formations. The water depth at the proposed well location is 105 metres.
The reservoir objectives penetrated in the Lolotoe-1 well will be evaluated by a full suite of data including mud log, real time drilling data and wire line logs after the well reaches total depth to determine presence of hydrocarbons. The well design does not include drill stem tests and will be plugged and abandoned when the evaluation is concluded.
