Indico 1 - PMO Zama Parallel BIG!!19 Feb 2019 19:42
Zama 1 for PMO hit 200m of Net pay, Zama 2 was drilled + 2.1km away + hit 150m Net pay IMPO this is Key stat for PMO this find - its offshore and a long way from prod'n - 2 years from market but gross +1.5Billion barrels. I used the rectangular model for cubic volume comparison - 'Only as an illustration of the dynamics of Volume matrix ' Cubed exponential potential. I understand - only two well that nature abhors rectangles in natural form, a sphere is more economical in terms of energy quanta and balancing external pressures, a more efficient use of 3d space . Hence no square rain drops. However, if this Calao X1 comes in then at anywhere above say 50m Net pay we have a 10 times volume increase in recoverable reserves - IF CONNECTED !!! . As the OWC has not been hit, if the structure does slope there is compensation. As the BB states , success here will secure a second rig plus a possible +1kbop additional output to boot from C1. The MM's will then realise we are undervalued, as we will have made up our prod'n shortfall and can exit 2019 - if 2 rigs are available +12-15kbopd. There is no doubt less risk here being so close to a 100m Oil column. Interesting point just 2 months ago - for the proposed drilling sequence.
Initial analysis by the Company indicates that a 283 feet gross, 209 feet net, oil column is present in the LS3 formation. The LS3 unit is a high quality sand with some shale intercalations, principally towards the base. The LS3 unit sits upon Palaeozoic basement. In the Company's initial analysis, no Oil-Water-Contact ("OWC") was detected in the wireline logs acquired to date, hence the base of the oil column encountered at the Palaeozoic level represents a Lowest-Known-Oil for the Indico structure. Further updates will be provided as operations develop and the volumetric models are refined based on logging and testing data.
Once operations are complete at Indico-1, the rig will move to drill Sol-1, which is a further 6.5 kilometres south of Indico-1 and approximately 13 kilometres southeast of Mariposa-1. The Sol-1 well will also target the LS3 unit as encountered in Mariposa-1 and Indico-1.n our view the principal pre-drill risk in this well was the presence of significant sand development in the Une formation. The results of the drilling have significantly exceeded our expectations in this respect and of course the very significant oil column encountered means we will have to review, with our partner ONGC Videsh, the resources associated with the Indico structure. The fact that no OWC was encountered is also very positive for the eventual size of recoverable reserves within the structure. Naturally, given this result, the Company and our partner will be reviewing options for further appraisal wells. GLA.
