Salamander Energy made a gas discovery at its North Kendang-1 exploration well inside the South East Sangatta PSC off Indonesia. The company’s initial test results point to wet gas. Pressure data indicates a potentially significant column height.
Salamander said that once the well reached the first Upper Micocene reservoir target at 2,533m TVDSS, the well took a significant kick from an influx of high pressure gas at a wellhead pressure of about 4,000psi. Drilling operations were suspended.
Salamander used Diamond Offshore's Ocean General semisubmersible rig to drill the well to 2,535m TVDSS. North Kendang-1 is the second well in Salamander’s multi-well program in the North Kutei basin and follows the South Kecapi-1 discovery in February.
