(Asia-Pacific) - Jacala-1A well was spudded on April 4 following the re-manning of the rig after the recent cyclones Floyd and Glenda.
The well has been drilled and cased to a depth of 1,140 m in a water depth of 1,060 m.
It is 10 days behind schedule due to the cyclonic activity being experienced in the North West.
Jacala-1 is located on the Exmouth Sub-basin approximately 200 km west of Barrow Island and 100 km NW of the Laverda, Vincent, and Enfield field complex.
Jacala-1 is located in approximately 1,060 m of water and is targeting a large four-way dip structure and is expected to take 18 days to drill and log.
The reservoir is interpreted to be in Barrow Sandstones at a depth of 2,106 m.
