Oilex Ltd says that Fracture Stimulation Operations (Frac Ops) have recommenced following repairs to the frac tree. As a precaution, mobilisation of a spare frac tree has commenced and it will standby at Cambay-77H site, as all the spare valves have been used for these repairs.

Stage 2 fracture stimulation (frac) has been successfully completed, including a data frac. The well response to stimulation was similar to the Stage 1 frac. As previously reported, subsequent to Stage 1 activities, gas was detected at surface and elevated overpressure of ~5,000psi was measured indicating a pressure increase of 670psi. The original reservoir pressure of ~4,330psi was interpreted from the micro frac programme. No decrease in the elevated overpressure has been noted subsequent to the recommencing operations.
