MEO Updates on Gurame SE-1X Well, Indonesia

MEO Australia announced update in relation to the Gurame SE-1X well being drilled offshore North Sumatra in the Seruway PSC using the Hercules #208 drilling rig.

Since the last report, the hole was conditioned prior to running casing. When the drill string was retrieved some 35m of the bottom hole assembly (BHA) remained in the hole. A decision was made to plug back and sidetrack the hole rather than attempt to retrieve the section of BHA.

The well has been plugged back to 2,048mMDRT and the sidetrack is currently drilling ahead in 12 ¼” hole at 2,099mMDRT.

The forward plan is to drill 12 ¼” hole to the top of the Baong sands and install 9 5 /8” casing prior to drilling out into the first target reservoir, the Baong sands.
