Asia Pacific focused independent oil and gas company Jadestone Energy said drilling operations have resumed at the Stag oilfield offshore Australia in the wake of tropical cyclone Veronica.
Following the weakening of the tropical cyclone, personnel have safely returned to the field and have undertaken a thorough inspection of the facilities, Jadestone said. Drilling operations with the Ensco 107 jack-up rig have recommenced on infill well 49-H. The donor well Stag 14-H has been re-entered and cleaned out, inner casing has been cut and retrieved, and new well activities are underway.
The Stag 49-H well will take approximately 34 days to drill, and is targeting approximately 1.2 mmbbls of unswept 2P oil reserves in a higher-pressure area of the Stag oilfield, just west of the platform.
