Production at the field was held back because of the Asian financial crisis. However, the Sydney-based company is in the middle of a multi-well development and appraisal program that commenced last September.
Following the completion of Wunut-9 on 1 November, Wunut-3 was drilled and completed in December 2002. At present the Tanggulangin-2 well is being drilled, following which Wunut-4 is planned to be drilled, together with a workover of the Wunut-2 well.
Novus has been producing from the Wunut field in the Brantas PSC since 1999. Initial production was around 4 million cubic feet per day (mmscfd), with demand held back due to the influence of the Asian financial crisis, although the facilities were designed to handle 50 mmscfd. Novus said the facility can be expanded to 80 mmscfd if need be.
