Triceratops Prospect
Type: Oil / Gas exploration well
Location: PPL 237, Eastern Papuan Basin
144 degrees 48' 52" E; 006 degrees 57' 29" S
Current Status: Drilling ahead at 4,892 feet (1,491
meters) with an 8 1/2 inch drill bit and maintaining
angle to reach target in the top of the Puri
limestone section. Trip gas showed a slight increase
at 4,764 feet (1,452 meters) while drilling the
Orubadi clay. (a) Drilling progress since last report
was 2,342 feet (714 meters).
Past Data: Set 20 inch conductor at 10 feet (3 meters). Set
13 3/8 inch surface casing at 381 feet (116 meters).
Set 9 5/8 inch intermediate casing at 2,539 feet
(774 meters).
((a)note: previous wells drilled in the area have
experienced background and trip gas, however
background or trip gas in no way confirms commercial
accumulations of hydrocarbons reached to date on this
well. The structure must reach a target zone, be
logged then tested and may need further geological,
geophysical and appraisal work before a commercial
confirmation of gas reserves.)
Planned Total
depth: Approximately 7,050 feet (2,150 meters)
Operator: InterOil subsidiary, SPI (210) Limited.
