The second extended well test on Antelope 5 commenced on 19 January 2016. The well was flowed at ~57mmscf/d for approximately two weeks, with downhole pressure gauges set in Antelope 1 to observe pressure movements. Following completion of the flow test, Antelope 5 will be shut-in for approximately 12 days to record subsequent pressure build-up.
As at 31 January 2016, the Antelope 6 well was at a depth of 2,266 metres in a 12-1/4” hole. During the month, the well encountered top reservoir within expectations at approximately 2,264 metres MD. The forward plan is run 9-5/8” liner prior to drilling ahead through the reservoir and conducting a planned programme of coring, logging and testing. The well has a planned total depth of approximately 2,650 metres.
