Has to be soon!! A reminder- expected to flow at 47 million cubic ft per day. The 48/1a-5 Platypus discovery well, spudded on March 3, 2010, was drilled to a total measured depth of 11,048 feet encountering some 218 vertical feet of porous gas bearing sands. The well was suspended for potential re-entry and future use as a gas production well on May 4, 2010. It was reported by Dana Petroleum plc that preliminary analyses indicate that the reserves discovered were in line with predrill estimates of approximately 130 Bcf of gas and it was a significant gas discovery for the United Kingdom’s Southern North Sea.
Appraisal well 48/1a-6 was spudded on April 11, 2012, with the Ensco 80 jack up drilling rig. The well reached a total measured depth of 14,175 feet on June 19, 2012, having successfully drilled a 3,100 foot horizontal section within the reservoir. The well, which recorded a test flow rate of 27 MMscf per day on a 96/64” choke, was successfully suspended for use as a future production well on August 7, 2012.
