Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Husky Energy reports that first-appraisal testing in a deepwater Pearl River Mouth Basin discovery indicates gas can be produced at more than 150 million cu. ft. per day. In the first of six wells scheduled in 2009, #3-1-2 Liwan flowed 53 million cu. ft. per day after drilling to a total depth of 3,887 meters in 1,345 meters of water on PSCA 2926. Reportedly, a 36-meter net gas pay was discovered over the main reservoir zone. Liwan 3-1 Field is located on Block 29/26, South China Sea. A deepwater rig will drill a second appraisal well before moving on to additional exploration wells in the area. Husky, based in Calgary, is the operator for Block 29/26 and signed a production-sharing agreement with China National Offshore Oil Corp. in 2004.
