Duster for Bow’s Donga-4
Bow Energy is suspending the Donga-4 well in Australia’s Surat basin permit
ATP 805P after a completion and swab test failed to show hydrocarbons
despite a small recovery of oil from a test when the well was initially
drilled in 2006.
The results suggest the reservoir is tight or compartmentalised and will
unlikely flow at commercial rates on its own.
Pending results of the fluid analysis and the monitoring of the well, Bow
may consider reservoir stimulation options in the future.
The Australian outfit recovered 27.5 barrels of fluid interpreted as mostly
completion and drilling fluid.
Bow operates the permit on an 85% stake with partner Victoria Petroleum on
15%.
