Cairn releases well results of appraisal well, offshore Senegal – WorldOil (subscription)

Cairns analysis and integration of the dataset collected is continuing with initial results in line with expectations and as follows:

The SNE-5 well has been plugged and abandoned and the Stena DrillMAX drillship is moving location to commence operations shortly on the Vega-Regulus (VR-1) well, ~5 km to the west of the SNE-1 discovery.

VR-1 has two objectives; an Aptian exploration target and an appraisal objective in SNE field.

The well will target the Vega-Regulus exploration prospect in the Aptian Carbonates underlying SNE field, which has potential gross mean consolidated prospective resource of more than 100 MMbbl.

In addition, the well will further appraise SNE field targeting potential incremental resources. The results will help narrow the range of SNE field volumes and also allow the JV time to fully integrate the results of SNE-5 prior to moving to appraisal well SNE-6 to complete the planned interference test.
