The Thalin-1B appraisal well (a re-entry and side-track of Thalin-1A) spudded in late February. The side-track was successful and Thalin-1B has acquired 99m (100% recovery) of core and wireline logs over the objective reservoir interval.
Initial multi-rate drill stem test results from the lower reservoir section of Thalin-1B demonstrated sustained flow rates of approximately 50 mmscf/d for a 50 hour flow period on a 48/64 inch choke. The deliverability test indicated excellent reservoir quality.Preparations for a drill stem test of the upper reservoir are continuing.Thalin-1B will be followed by the Thalin-2 appraisal well in Block AD-7.An additional firm exploration well has been committed to as part of the 2017 Myanmar drilling campaign. 1 The campaign now comprises five firm (two appraisal and three exploration) and two contingent wells.Two exploration wells will be drilled in Block A-6 after Thalin-2, followed by afurther exploration well in Block AD-7.
