Carnarvon Energy Limited (“Carnarvon”) (CVN) is pleased to provide an update on the Buffalo-10
well.
Progress
The 13 3/8” casing has been successfully cemented in place and the well head installed. The 12 ¼” hole was drilled down to a depth of approximately 2,707 metres Measured Depth (“MD”), and the rig is preparing operations in order to set and cement the 9 5/8” liner.
Forward Plan
Set and cement the 9 5/8” liner and drill ahead in 8 ½” hole to planned well total depth of approximately 3,500 metres MD.
The Elang reservoir is anticipated to be encountered in the 8 ½” hole section.
Wireline logs will be run over the Elang reservoir before determining if the well will be completed and suspended for potential future production.
Comments
For operational efficiency, the 9 5/8” casing will be set at around 2,700 metres MD, with the geological markers in the 12 ¼” hole section having been intersected within the pre-drill range.
