Mubadala to spud Sri Trang-1, off Thailand

Mubadala Petroleum is set to commence drilling operations at the Sri Trang-1 exploration well in mid-May, offshore Thailand. 

The well is approximately 18km north-northeast of the Manora oil development, in the Gulf of Thailand and within the G1/48 concession.

Drilling with the Atwood Orca jackup, the well's objective is to evaluate the primary middle Miocene lacustrine sand target with secondary targets of the late Miocene fluvial sand, according to partner Tap Oil.

The middle Miocene lacustrine sand target is the main reservoir level at the Manora oil field. A valid test of the primary objective middle Miocene sands is essential as it will validate the hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Northern Kra basin and de-risk dependent prospects immediately to the West of Sri Trang-1.

The well is being drilled in shallow water to approximately 2590m and is expected to take 10 days. The outcome of the well will determine any likely development scenario, including a scenario where a production platform is tied back to the Manora production facility. 

Mubadala is the operator of the G1/48 concession with 60% interest. Partners include Tap Oil (30%) and Northern Gulf Petroleum (10%).
