The Manora oil field is located within the G1/48 concession, approximately 80km offshore Thailand, in 46m of water depth.
The plan for Manora includes up to 10 production wells and five injection wells in the main reservoir sequence using the Atwood Orca jackup rig.
According to partner Tap Oil, as of this week, 11,198b/d (gross) is flowing to the FSO and is producing from wells MNA-01, MNA-02, MNA-03, MNA-05 and MNA-07. The joint venture anticipates production to ramp up to a peak of 15,000b/d during 1Q 2015.
Well updates
Wells MNA-07 and MNA-04 have been completed with MNA-10 awaiting completion.
Pressure measurements from MNA-04 and MNA-10 confirm reservoir connectivity to the producing wells, which Tap Oil says is positive for water injection success.
Drilling began on the MNA-09 injector well in the central fault block. Once MNA-09 reaches its final target depth, the MNA-08 producer well in the east fault block will be the next well on the drilling schedule.
The JV announced production on Manora’s MNA-01 and MNA-02 began in November 2014, with initial flow at a combined rate of 2200b/d (gross).
Mubadala Petroleum is the operator of G1/48 with a 60% interest with partners Tap Oil (30%) and Northern Gulf Petroleum (10%).
