Ungani 3 is the first well in the Buru - Mitsubishi Corporation ("MC") 2014 drilling program. Buru and MC each have a 50% equity and contributing interest in the well and the Ungani Field.
The Ungani 3 well is located in production application STP-PRA-0004 in exploration permit EP 391 some 100 kilometres to the east of Broome. The well location is some fifty kilometres from the Great Northern Highway along the Ungani access road.
The well has a programmed total depth of 2,340 metres and is expected to take some 35 days to drill and suspend.
The well is located in the Ungani Field area on a separate pad to the Ungani Production Facilities
("UPF") and is some 1,000 metres to the east of
the Ungani 1 and 2 wells. The planned production from the well will be transferred to the
UPF via a pipeline from the Ungani 3 pad.
The primary objective of the well is the oil producing Ungani Dolomite reservoir of the
Ungani Field, the well also has a secondary target
in the overlying Grant Formation in which oil shows were encountered in the Ungani 1 well, and where a potentially significant structural closure has been identified on the Ungani 3D
seismic data.
