Central Petroleum Limited has completed running electric logs at the Surprise-1 well and is in the process of utilising a Modular Formation Dynamics Tester (MDT) tool which measures formation pressures and samples reservoir fluids.
The data obtained from these processes will help establish the fluid content and hydrocarbon saturation of the reservoir, and to an extent, the permeability and producibility of the reservoir. In addition, seismic check shots and rotary sidewall cores are planned to add to the database being used to assess the hydrocarbon content of the Surprise prospect.
Minor delays are being experienced as a result of an operational issue which has arisen while running the MDT tool. It is expected that the preliminary results from this testing program will be released in the week commencing Monday, 12 December 2011.
These preliminary results are all subject to review and revision as more data comes to hand.
