Miltos Xynogalas, Conrad’s CEO said: “This has been a tremendous result for the drilling campaign as a whole, confirming a very large single tank gas accumulation, connecting Tambak-1, Mako South-1 and Tambak-2 over a long distance, demonstrating beyond any doubt the mobility and deliverability of natural gas throughout the field. Our first well in this drilling campaign, Tambak-2, encountered 30 ft of high-quality gas-bearing intra-Muda sandstones, representing a better developed reservoir than seen in Mako South-1. It also confirmed a common gaswater contact and pressure system across the Mako structure.
Tambak-1, designed to appraise the field limits, yielded better than expected results. The well encountered 56 ft of excellent quality intra-Muda sandstones, penetrated the gaswater contact within the reservoir section, and encountered 20 ft of sandstones within the gas leg. The gas-water contact was clearly common in all wells on the Mako structure to date, and a common pressure system across the field has been confirmed.
Our efforts will now move to the optimisation of the approved Mako Plan of Development working in close collaboration with our partners and the Indonesian authorities.
The entire Conrad team has worked tirelessly over the past 70 days to complete another campaign, maintained a 100% health and safety record, on time and on budget. Overall, the drilling campaign has delivered results that should significantly increase the resources of the field.”
