HOUSTON – Close on the heels of its first successful wildcat well offshore eastern Thailand, Coastal Energy reports the second exploration well in Bua Ban North also succeeded.
The B-02 well encountered 62 ft (19 m) of net Miocene pay with 26% porosity on its way to TVD of 6,513 ft (1,985 m). It also tested the Eocene and found 150 ft (45 ¾ m) of net sand with 19% average porosity.
The B-02 is cased and suspended pending the arrival of testing equipment. Conductor pipe has been set on the B-03 well, which is testing the Miocene in a separate fault block due east from the B-02 well, says Coastal.
