The Cua Lo-1 shallow-water exploration probe, located in Block 105 in the Song Hong basin, was being drilled by the jack-up rig Ensco 107 in September and had encountered gas shows in each of the upper three objectives.
However, the well suffered a kick due to an over-pressured gas-bearing formation at 2568 metres deep and was subsequently plugged back to a depth of 1800 metres.
