Carnarvon Petroleum (ASX:CVN) has provided an update on drilling operations as advised by the operator of the Roc-1 well, Quadrant Energy.
The Roc-1 well is located in WA-437-P, 20 kilometres south-east of the 2014 Phoenix South-1 oil discovery, and around 150 kilometres north of Port Hedland.
Quadrant Energy is the operator of the well (40%) interest, with Carnarvon (20% free-carried). Other partners are JX Nippon 20% and Finder Exploration 20%.
Since the last report the 216 mm (8 ½”) hole has drilled from a depth of 4,855 metres to around 4,943 metres.
Carnarvon said that over the weekend the logging program commenced with quad combo wireline logging.
It is estimated to take a further three to five days to acquire the full suite of wireline data including sidewall borehole core samples and fluid samples.
After logging operations are complete the joint venture will decide whether to continue exploratory drilling past 4,943 metres.
