Jatayu-1 Exploration Well
The Jatayu-1 exploration well, located onshore Indonesia will be suspended with
the setting of 4.5" casing down to 6,640 feet measured depth. Upon completion of
the casing of the well, the rig will mobilize to the Geulis-1 exploration
location with drilling expected to commence on this well in approximately 3 to 4
weeks. During this period, a service rig is planned to be mobilized onto the
Jatayu-1 location and to commence drilling the additional approximately 1,300
feet to the Parigi limestone target utilizing slim hole drilling equipment. By
placing the unstable, over pressured and gas charged open hole section in
Jatayu-1 behind 4.5" casing, it is believed that drilling fluid losses can be
mitigated going forward by allowing, safely, significantly lower mud weights.
With a three week time frame required to mobilize the slim hole drilling
equipment to the Jatayu-1 well site, the operation detailed above is expected to
result in significant cost savings by not requiring the current drilling rig to
go on standby. It is estimated that without significant further drilling
problems, the Jatayu-1 will be completed to target depth for approximately $1.5
million USD.
Pan Orient is a Calgary, Alberta based oil and gas exploration and production
company with operations currently located onshore Thailand, Indonesia and in
