Issue 346 - 19 May 2017 | 1 minute read

Ophir Energy has announced that the Ayame-1X exploration well in Block 513 found only oil shows and will be plugged and abandoned. The well was drilled to 5,394 metres targeting a number of Santonian and Turonian turbidite channel complexes. On the technical front, Ophir said the well had successfully drilled and cased the longest riser-less surface section in the region and had reached total depth in the subsequent hole section with a single bit run.
