AED Oil's Puffin-12 drilling to recommence
AED Oil's (ASX:AED) Puffin‐12 development well in north Western Australia is being drilled in the NE region of the Puffin Field and is the second of a two well programme, the first well of which was the Puffin‐11 discovery approximately 9km away in the SW of the field.
The Puffin‐12 ST3 well has reached a depth of 940m MDBRT (Measured Depth from Rotary Table) prior to a temporary interruption due to cyclone activity in the region. The threat of Cyclone Billy has now diminished with manning up and drilling to recommence shortly.
As reported last week the Puffin 12 ST2 well has two main objectives. The primary objective is to drill and complete a production well at the end of the drilling programme. The secondary objective has been to appraise the eastern extent of the NE sector which is difficult to interpret from seismic and for this purpose various pilot holes have been drilled.
This completes the secondary objective and will enable better definition of the field. The well will now be sidetracked to drill a horizontal section with the objective of being completed for production.
