总裁兼首席执行官 Sean Guest 评论道：“我们的 Nong Yao 钻探活动取得了成功，结果支持了我们的投资论点，即我们的资产有潜力通过定向加密钻探增加产量和增加新储量，从而进一步增加价值。” 我对团队在执行该计划时的安全表现以及他们对高效运营的承诺感到满意，这一点通过强劲的成本和进度结果得到了证明。为了利用这一势头，我们调整了钻井计划，现在我们将仅使用一台钻机来执行 2023 年的所有钻井计划。这一变化构成了前 Mubadala Energy 资产和 KrisEnergy 资产之间重要的运营协同效应。”
Valeura Energy has announced the successful completion of its Nong Yao field infill drilling campaign and recent increases in oil production.
The company has drilled two horizontal infill wells on its Nong Yao oil field at Licence G11/48 in Thailand, in which the they hold a 90% operated working interest. Drilling operations were executed safely, below budget, and ahead of schedule. The wells encountered approximately 1000 and 700 ft of net oil pay in their horizontal sections, respectively, confirming pre-drill reservoir simulation results. The wells have come onstream as oil producers at a combined initial gross rate of approximately 1350 bbls/d.
The impact of the new Nong Yao wells, in addition to contributions from the company’s Jasmine oil field drilling programme earlier in 2023, has resulted in aggregate oil production rates from the Company’s portfolio during the 11 days of June averaging 23 700 bbls/d (net to the Company’s working interest), an increase of approximately 16% over average 1Q23 rates from the four assets.
The Borr Mist drilling rig is now on location at the Manora oil field where the Company plans to drill three wells aimed at increasing production from the field and by extension, adding to the economic life of the asset. Upon completion of operations at Manora, anticipated in early August 2023, the rig will move to the Wassana field for the Company’s five-well infill drilling programme.
Sean Guest, President and CEO, commented: “Our Nong Yao drilling campaign has been a success and the results bolster our investment thesis that our assets offer the potential to add further value through increased production and new reserve additions through targeted infill drilling. I am pleased with the team’s safety performance in executing the programme and their commitment to efficient operations as evidenced by a strong cost and schedule outcome. To capitalise on this momentum, we have adjusted our drilling schedule such that we will now utilise only one rig to execute all our drilling plans in 2023. This change constitutes an important operational synergy between the former Mubadala Energy assets and the KrisEnergy assets.”
