Cooper spuds Gurame-1X
Australia’s Cooper Energy has spudded its Gurame-1X well off North Sumatra in
Indonesia using the Ensco-1 drilling barge.
The well is the Perth company’s first major gas appraisal.
Five previous wells have proved the presence of gas in a number of vertically
stacked reservoirs in the Gurame gas discovery area.
The objective of the Gurame-1X well is to further delineate the gas,
demonstrate it can flow at commercial production rates and obtain modern
data from reservoirs for field development planning, said Cooper.
Historical recoverable hydrocarbon estimates for the field are between 400
billion cubic feet of gas with 20 million barrels of liquids and 2.7
trillion cubic feet of gas with 150 million barrels of liquids.
Cooper has a 22.5% stake in the Seruway production sharing contract which
contains the Gurame gas field.
