Rossukon-3 is located in the G6/48 contract area that covers 566sq km over the Karawake basin. It lies to the north of G10/48’s Wassana oil field, 1.9km west of the Rossukon-2 and 1.8km northwest of the original Rossukon-1 discovery well, in 208ft water depth.
The well is being drilled with the Key Gibraltar jackup and was drilled to 7497ft total depth where it encountered 124ft of net oil and gas pay.
KrisEnergy’s preliminary interpretation of well logs indicates that the well intersected approximately 75ft true vertical depth (TVD) of net oil-bearing sandstones and 49ft TVD of net gas-bearing sandstones over several reservoir intervals.
Rossukon-3 will be plugged back and drilling will immediately begin at the Rossukon-3ST sidetrack exploration well. Rossukon-3ST is planned to drill to a total depth of 6689ft at a maximum deviation of 74 degrees.
“The three wells drilled so far in this campaign are promising and will increase the contingent resources in G6/48,” says Chris Gibson-Robinson, KrisEnergy director E&P. “Once Rossukon-3ST is completed, we will undertake a thorough technical review incorporating data from all the Rossukon wells, and the existing seismic data, to more fully assess the potential for commercial development in the future.”
KrisEnergy began its Thai campaign in mid-March and began with the Rossukon-2 exploration well that produced an oil and gas discovery one week later. Preliminary logs indicated that the well intersected approximately 69ft TVD of net oil bearing sandstones and 37ft TVD of net gas-bearing sandstones, over five reservoir intervals.
The company contracted the Key Gibraltar for a firm six months for its Thai drilling program, which includes the latest Rossukon series of wells in G6/48 and 15 development wells in the Wassana oil field.
KrisEnergy took over operatorship of G6/48 in May 2014 and holds 30% interest with partners Northern Gulf Petroleum (40%) and Mubadala Petroleum (30%).
