Valeura Energy Inc. Announces Jasmine Development Drilling Update
Valeura Energy has successfully completed a five-well infill drilling campaign at the Jasmine field in the Gulf of Thailand. The campaign included two wells on Jasmine A platform and three on Jasmine D platform, all successful and producing. The JSD-42 well targeted the 250 sand reservoir and identified five additional future producing zones. JSD-41H and JSD-43H were horizontal development wells in the 680-1 sand reservoir, both extending over 2,000ft with 100% net sand. Oil production has increased 26% to 9,801 bbls/d from previous 7,764 bbls/d. The drilling rig has now moved to the Manora field for a five-well program.
Valeura Energy ha completato con successo una campagna di perforazione di cinque pozzi nel giacimento di Jasmine nel Golfo di Thailandia. La campagna ha incluso due pozzi sulla piattaforma Jasmine A e tre sulla piattaforma Jasmine D, tutti di successo e in produzione. Il pozzo JSD-42 ha mirato al bacino di sabbia 250, identificando cinque ulteriori zone produttive future. I pozzi JSD-41H e JSD-43H erano pozzi di sviluppo orizzontale nel bacino di sabbia 680-1, entrambi con estensione superiore a 2.000 piedi e un 100% di sabbia netta. La produzione di petrolio è aumentata del 26% raggiungendo 9.801 bbls/giornaliere rispetto ai precedenti 7.764 bbls/giornaliere. La piattaforma di perforazione si è ora spostata nel giacimento di Manora per un programma di cinque pozzi.

Jasmine Development Drilling Update
CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / November 27, 2024 / Valeura Energy Inc. (TSX:VLE)(OTCQX:VLERF) ("Valeura" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of an infill drilling campaign at the Jasmine field in Licence B5/27 (
Dr. Sean Guest, President and CEO commented:
"I am very pleased with our drilling performance at Jasmine, which has resulted in aggregate oil production rates of nearly 10,000 bbls/d (before royalties) over the last seven days. Maintaining oil production at this asset is key to generating ongoing cashflow from our portfolio. In addition, the fact that we continue to see appraisal successes at this relatively mature field bodes well for our objective to further extend the economic life of the asset. We expect the results of these wells, and the recent production rates to be considered as part of our year-end reserves assessment, and to support our target of achieving more than a
Valeura drilled a five well programme, comprised of two infill development wells on the Jasmine A platform, completed in September 2024 and previously announced, and more recently, three infill development wells on the Jasmine D platform, which were all successful and have been brought online as producers while also successfully appraising several additional reservoir intervals.
The JSD-42 well drilled a production-oriented primary objective in the 250 sand reservoir, and is believed to be optimally positioned at the crest of the structure. The well was completed as a producer within this zone and has begun producing oil in line with management's expectations. In addition, the JSD-42 well evaluated several secondary appraisal targets, which resulted in five further zones being completed as future producing reservoirs, and also encountered several additional oil-bearing intervals which may be the subject of further infill development drilling in due course.
The JSD-41H and JSD-43H wells were both drilled as horizontal development infills within the 680-1 sand reservoir, with the objective of more efficiently sweeping oil from this already-producing interval. Both wells were geosteered across horizontal intervals measuring over 2,000ft (measured depth), and encountered
With all five wells completed as producers and online, aggregate oil production from the field has averaged 9,801 bbls/d (before royalties) over the period November 19-25, 2024, an increase of
Following the Jasmine D infill drilling programme, the Company's contracted drilling rig has been moved to the Manora field on Licence G1/48 (
