PERTH, Australia – Tap Oil has issued results of the latest development wells on the Manora oil field in the G1/48 concession in the Gulf of Thailand, operated by Mubadala Petroleum.

The program, which started on July 9, involved batch drilling of the upper-hole sections of three wells followed by drilling of the reservoir sections.

MNA-24H, a horizontal well drilled from the Manora platform, reached TD of 2,216 m (7,270 ft), with petrophysical interpretation of well logs indicating total pay within the horizontal lateral of 155 m (508 ft) and an average 28% porosity.

The lateral was completed with a sand screen and an electrical submersible pump, testing 1,033 b/d.

MNA-23H, another horizontal well from the platform, had a TD of 2,216.1 m (7,270 ft) with 197.8 m (649 ft) within the horizontal lateral and 30% average porosity. It was equipped with a similar completion and tested 945 b/d.

The rig has since skidded and re-started drilling of the MNA-22 well.
