CGGVeritas completing Wortel sweep
October 10th, 2007
INDONESIA: CGGVeritas seismic vessel M/V Duke is likely to complete the Wortel 2-D seismic survey in the Santos-operated Sampang PSC off East Java, Indonesia, towards end of this week. The 395-kilometre (245 mile) survey is designed to provide additional infill seismic information on the Wortel gas discovery and three adjacent exploration leads prior to a drilling campaign scheduled for next year.
Santos has chartered Apexindo jackup Rani Woro for appraisal and exploration drilling in the area. The data acquired will help in locating the Wortel-3 appraisal well, which is scheduled for the first half of 2008, and in developing potentially drillable locations for exploration wells later in 2008, partner.
Wortel is about seven kilometres (4 miles) west of the Oyong field, where oil production recently began. Santos operates the Sampang PSC with a 45 percent stake. Partners are Singapore Petroleum Co. with 40 percent interest and Cue with 15 percent interest.Source: http://www.energycurrent.com
