Lundin Strikes Oil Offshore Malaysia

Lundin Petroleum, through its wholly owned subsidiary Lundin Malaysia BV, announced Monday that it has discovered oil in the Ara-1 well that was drilled in Block PM308A, offshore Peninsular Malaysia.

Ara-1 was drilled to a total depth of 13,221 feet (4,030 meters) by the jackup West Courageous (350' ILC) in 246 feet (75 meters) water depth. The objective of the well was to target the extension of the Paleogene intra-rift oil sands that had been encountered in the Janglau-1 well drilled by Lundin in 2011.

Ara-1 encountered 9 thin oil-bearing sands in a high-pressured intra-rift section extending over a vertical interval of 2,624 feet (800 meters).

The well confirmed the extension of the new intra-rift oil play across a very large structural complex in the northeast of PM308A below a major regional seal. The well also found effective sand reservoirs at depths below 11,482 feet (3,500 meters). The oil pay zones intersected by Ara-1 were however individually thinner than pre drill expectation.

Ara-1 was plugged and abandoned as an oil discovery well after completion of the well evaluation programme. Work has commenced to estimate the range of resources discovered.

Lundin intends to incorporate the well results into the recently extended regional 3D seismic data set to identify areas where local sand reservoir sources may be better developed and can high grade future drilling prospects.

The West Courageous jackup rig will be demobilized following completion of Ara-1, the final well of Lundin's 2012 drilling campaign.

The PM308A production sharing contract (PSC) is operated by Lundin Malaysia BV with 35 percent equity interest. Partners are JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration (Peninsular Malaysia) Limited with 40 percent and PETRONAS Carigali with 25 percent.

ROC Spuds Balai RSC Exploration Well Offshore East Malaysia

ROC revealed Friday that BC Petroleum, the company incorporated to operate and manage the Balai Cluster Risk Service Contract (RSC) in Malaysia, has started drilling the Spaoh-2 well at 1930 local time Thursday. At 0600 local time, the well was drilling ahead at 1,070 feet (326 meters).

Spaoh-2, sited in the Spaoh field offshore East Malaysia, will be drilled to around 8,892 feet (2,710 meters).

The Balai Cluster RSC consists of four fields: Balai, Bentara, West Acis and Spaoh. Petronas entered into a RSC for the pre-development and development of the Balai Cluster fields in 2011 with ROC and Dialog. Under the RSC agreement, ROC is expected to complete the pre-development phase for the fields by mid-2013. On successful completion of the pre-development phase and agreement on the economic viability of the fields, ROC will submit a field development plan, and progress to development of the fields.

There are currently two RSCs in place offshore Malaysia: the Balai Cluster RSC and the Kapal, Banang and Meranti RSC (KBM RSC). Malaysia announced Jan.25 that it has decided not to proceed with the award of the Small Field Risk Service Contract (RSC) for the Tembikai and Chenang Cluster.

RSC contracts from Petronas have drawn much interest among international oil exploration companies, given Malaysia's renewed focus on developing its domestic oil and gas assets.

Back in 2011, Petronas noted that it aimed to award four marginal fields per year. However, as only two RSCs have been dished out over the last two years, industry watchers say that Petronas could ramp up on its efforts on the RSC front, and look to award more contracts this year in order to meet its oil production targets.
