Why not test the 801 Deep Well 4 intervals?1 Oct 2023 15:47
The BoD were asked specifically at the AGM if they would be drilling the 802 Deep Well to 5,200m TD or at least drill down to the 4 very significant 121 net pay aggregate oil bearing intervals found in the 801 Deep Well and they said yes – however, the 802 Deep Well TD has been revised to 4,200m, which imo will end up being sidetracked again if they can not remove the stuck pipe – but either way why not drill deeper and test these zones the heat pressure is the same?
And they were asked if they would drill the 803 Deep Well to test these intervals too and said they would do, however according to the latest RNS they won’t be?
‘’The first of 6 meters between 4,535 and 4,541 meters; the second is of 20 meters between 4,554 and 4,694 meters; the third is of 59 meters meters between 4,635 and 4,694 and the fourth is of 36 meters between 4,812 and 4,848 meters’’
RNS 25 September:
‘’In Q4 2023 we intend to spud Deep Well 803, which is a requirement under the current BNG work programme obligations and which has a planned total depth of 4,350 meters.’’
The first 6m interval in the 801 Deep Well is less than 200m deeper than the planned 4,350m the 803 Deep Well is drilling to. Why are they not planning to drill into the 4 deeper intervals with the more powerful G70 rig? Does the seismic date say they are not connected? What's going on?
Anyway, they should be ready to perforate Deep Well AKD-4 this coming week as it reached its planned total depth of 3,922 meters 6 days ago (if not already) so testing the well is imminent, hopefully it's a gusher and connected to the other three structures to boot.
‘’Drilling at Deep Well T-2D, which has a planned total depth of 3,500 meters, has reached 3,408 meters. After the remaining 92 meters are completed the well will be prepared for testing.’’ This well will have hit TD a few days ago and they will be getting ready to cement/ perforate the well this coming week too, fingers crossed it's another gusher.
Hopefully lift off next week, but I have to say I’m very disappointed they’re not planning to test 121m of aggregate net pay in the 4 intervals found in the 801 Deep Well.
