Carnarvon Petroleum (ASX:CVN) and partners are drilling ahead at the Roc-1 well in permit WA-437-P, which is located in Australia's North West Shelf.
The 445 mm (17 ½”) hole has been drilled down to 1,341 metres and 340 mm (13 3/8”) casing has been set and cemented to this point.
Currently, the well was being drilled ahead in the 311 mm (12 ¼”) intermediate hole section at a depth of 1,425 metres.
The permit is around 20 kilometres south-east of the 2014 Phoenix South-1 oil discovery, and 150 kilometres north of Port Hedland.
Quadrant Energy (40%) is operator, Carnarvon holds 20%, with JX Nippon 20% and Finder Exploration 20%.
Forward Plan
The well will drill the 311 mm (12 ¼”) hole to a depth of around 3,500 metres, and then set and cement 244 mm (9 5/8”) casing.
Following that the well will drill ahead in the 216 mm (8 1/2”) reservoir section equivalent to where the oil was discovered in the Phoenix South-1 well.
