RH has released its updates on the drilling of the Piarawi-1 exploration well in the Salawati Production Sharing Contract, Southwest Papua,Indonesia.
As per the company’s Jan 20 announcement, the drilling of the Piarawi-1 well commenced under its 82.65%-owned subsidiary Petrogas (Island).
The well has since been drilled to a total depth of 11,050 feet as at Mar 2024 and encountered 25 ft of net oil pay in a tighter than expected reservoir within the target Kais carbonate formation.
Additionally, the well was temporarily suspended under a testing program which commenced in late June with a series of acid stimulations on the well which resulted in successful oil flow from the tight reservoir. As such, the group is currently completing the well as a producer. Subject to the requisite regulatory approvals, the Piarawi-1 well is expected to commence production before the end of 2024 at an initial rate of approximately 100 to 200 barrels of oil per day.
