PTTEP Finds Gas in Four Myanmar Offshore Wells

Thailand’s PTTEP has found gas in four appraisal wells in M3 block offshore Myanmar.

The wells Aung Sinkha-3, Aung Sinkha-4, Aung Sinkha-5 and Aung Sinkha-6 were drilled between February and August.

Aung Sinkha-3 saw gas flow rates of approximately 34.5 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD), with associated condensate flow rates of approximately 195 barrels per day (BPD).

The Aung Sinkha-5 well confirmed gas flow rates of approximately 9 MMSCFD, whereas the Aung Sinkha-6 well indicated gas flow rates of approximately 14 MMSCFD and condensate flow rates of approximately 1,820 BPD.

For Aung Sinkha-4 well, there was no gas flow shown despite gas discovery in the reservoir due to unready of equipment since this was the first well of campaign, the company said.

The company plans to conduct additional drilling of appraisal well in 2014 for the planning of development and production from the Aung Sinkha field.
