LGO is today told DirectorsTalk that its latest development well, GY-675, at its flagship Goudron Field development in Trinidad, reached total depth at 3,660 feet measured depth (“MD”) on 30 June 2014. Electric log interpretation from both the Goudron Sandstone and C-sand intervals confirm the presence of recoverable hydrocarbons with the net hydrocarbon pay in the C-sand main target estimated as 260 feet. The next well, GY-676, in the 2015 program has now been spudded.
Neil Ritson, LGO’s Chief Executive, commented: “Our C-sand drilling program at Goudron is progressing extremely well and we are now on our fifth well in 2015. In parallel, the production testing of the first three wells drilled this year is providing some encouraging results and we hope to have final flow rates from that work shortly. Additionally the recently published reserves assessment shows we have significant upside to pursue after the current seven well drilling campaign.”
Well GY-675 is the fourth of seven wells currently planned for 2015 and the first well from drilling Pad 5 in the north-east of the field. Net oil pay in the Goudron Sandstone was encountered between 630 and 1,560 feet with an estimated 330 feet of total net pay. The oil bearing C-sand interval was encountered between 2,015 and 3,020 feet MD. Net hydrocarbon bearing pay in the C-sand interval is estimated as 260 feet. These observed net pay zones are in line with expectations for this well.
Well GY-675 has now been successfully cased for future production and the rig has been moved to the second location on Pad 5 where it has spudded the fifth well of the 2015 program, GY-676, which is planned to be drilled to a total depth of 3,640 feet MD (3,400 feet TVDss) at a location 325 feet north-west of the surface location. Well GY-676 is once again targeting a C-sand reservoir interval and the top Gros Morne sandstone reservoir (upper C-sand) is anticipated at 1,935 feet MD (1,700 feet TVDss).
