    SINGAPORE – Production from the Wassana oil field in the G10/48 concession in the Gulf of Thailand averaged 4,491 boe/d during 1Q, according to operator KrisEnergy.

    Output was constrained because of damage to a section of a 6-in. subsea flowline, which had to be shut off and replaced, and reduced water injection capacity due to a defect in the main pump.

    The pump shaft was subsequently repaired in Singapore and returned to the field for installation.

    In March, thejackupPV Drilling I drilled the Wassana-4 appraisal well to the north of the existing production facilities, encountering net vertical oil pay of 31 ft (9.4 m) true vertical thickness.

    The well was then side tracked to a TD of 5,587 ft (1,703 m), intersecting 66 ft (20 m) TVT of net oil pay.

    Analysis suggests commercial development of the Wassana North Satellite could be warranted via a tieback to the existing Wassana facilities, KrisEnergy added.
