Jubilant says that KPL-3E-6, the third well of the six wells Phase-III-Extension development drilling campaign in the oil producing Kharsang Field, Arunachal Pradesh, was spud on 20 April 2013.

KPL-3E-6 is located in the central part of the field and is planned to exploit the untapped hydrocarbons in the infill area between wells KSG#11 and KSG#25, with the H-00 layer as the primary objective and the G-00 and I-00 layers as secondary objectives. The well is planned to be deviated by approximately 140 metres towards the southeast from the existing drilling pad of KSG#11 and will be drilled to a target depth of approximately 1,021 metres Measured Depth ("MD") and 1,000 metres True Vertical Depth ("TVD"). The well is expected to take approximately three weeks to drill.

The second development well of the current campaign, KSG#66 (previously referred to as KPL-3E-4), which was spudded on 23 March 2013, was successfully drilled to a revised target depth of 1,128 meters MD and 1,047 metres TVD on 8 April 2013.
