Drilled to determine the structural configuration of the northern part of the Jingemia field, Jingemia-9 well encountered the Dongara sandstone reservoir as planned. But despite being of good quality, the contained oil was found to be water-bearing.
The well has been drilled to total depth of 2814m and wireline logging began this morning.
Participants in Jingemia 9 and L1 and L2 production licences (excluding the Dongara, Mondarra and Yardarino fields) are Arc Energy 50% (operator) and Origin Energy Developments 50%, a wholly owned subsidiary of Origin Energy.
