Cairn Energy and its partners offshore Senegal have reached total depth on the SNE-5 appraisal well. Drilling reached a total depth of 2,852 meters below the mudline using the Stena DrillMAX drillship, according to FAR Ltd., one of the JV partners.
A wireline logging and sampling program has been completed successfully and rig operations are progressing with a DST of the primary reservoir target at this location. Testing results will be released when available.
The SNE-5 well, together with the follow on SNE-6 well, will evaluate the upper SNE reservoir units, specifically reservoir connectivity and deliverability, by conducting oil flow tests, including interference testing.
The two new wells follow the highly successful SNE-2, SNE-3, BEL-1 and SNE-4 appraisal drilling program completed on the SNE oil field in June 2016.
