2 Indonesia

Petronas announced an oil discovery in the offshore Java North Madura II Production Sharing Contract in Indonesia. Exploration well #1-Hidayah was drilled to 2,739 m. It encountered an oil-bearing carbonate build-up with good reservoir qualities in Ngimbang Carbonate. It was tested flowing approximately 2,100 bbl/d of oil with good crude quality. Additional testing is planned. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia–based Petronas is also the operator for the Bukit Tua oil and gas field, offshore East Java. 

3 Australia

Origin Energy announced results from a Beetaloo Basin venture at #117 N2-1H ST2 Kyalla in Australia’s Northern Territory. After a nitrogen gas injection, the well flowed 400,000-600,000 cf of gas during a 17-hour period with some condensate shows from Kyalla. An extended production test is planned to determine the long-term performance in license area EP117. Sydney-based Origin is the operator with partner Falcon Oil & Gas.
