APA Corporation Announces Successful Flow Test Results at Krabdagu Discovery Well
21 June 2022 - 10:00PM
APA Corporation (Nasdaq: APA) today announced flow test results
from the Krabdagu exploration well (KBD-1) on Block 58 offshore
Suriname. APA Suriname holds a 50% working interest in the block,
with TotalEnergies (TTE), the operator, also holding a 50% working
interest.
Flow test data collected in the two lower intervals, the Upper
Campanian and Lower Campanian, indicates oil-in-place resource of
approximately 100 and 80 million barrels (MMbbls) respectively
connected to the KBD-1 well.
- Upper Campanian Zone Results: 32
meters (105 feet) of net oil pay, high quality reservoir with
400-500 millidarcy permeability, 35 degree API, and 2000-2300
scf/bbl GOR. The buildup test indicated connected resource of more
than 100 MMbbls of oil-in-place.
- Lower Campanian Zone Results: 32
meters (105 feet) of net oil pay, modest reservoir quality with
60-80 millidarcy permeability, 37 degree API, and 2500-2800 scf/bbl
GOR. The buildup test indicated connected resource of more than 80
MMbbls of oil-in-place.
These tests were performed in the exploration well, and
appraisal drilling will be necessary to confirm additional resource
and optimal development well locations. The exploration well
encountered another high quality, lower GOR interval in the Upper
Campanian that was not in a location suitable for flow testing.
This shallower Campanian zone will need to be flow tested in the
appraisal stage from a more optimal location.
“The results from the Krabdagu flow-test in the two lower
intervals are in line with our expectations and provide data that
accelerates our understanding of the field and will shape future
activity. This includes identifying the optimal well locations that
enable assessment of upside resource potential for each target,”
said John J. Christmann IV, APA’s CEO and president. “The connected
resource demonstrated from the flow tests at Krabdagu combined with
the results from Sapakara South, are a significant step forward in
advancing a project in this area of Block 58.”
The APA-TTE joint-venture is currently drilling the Dikkop
exploration well in the central portion of Block 58 with the Maersk
Valiant. Following completion of operations at Dikkop, the Valiant
is expected to continue exploration and appraisal activities in the
central portion of Block 58.
