The joint venture plans to sidetrack the well out of the existing well bore to intersect the reservoir about 200 metres south-west of the Jeruk-2 sidetrack and to run a production test at the top of the reservoir before cutting several cores.
Additional production tests will be run deeper in the well as required. The planned total depth is 5570 metres measured depth.
The well should be finished in around 85 days, depending on coring and testing requirements, according to Cue.
The Jeruk oil discovery is located in the Sampang Production Sharing Contract area, offshore East Java, Indonesia, in about 44 metres water depth.
Participants in Jeruk and the Sampang PSC are: Santos (Sampang) Pty Ltd 45% (operator), Singapore Petroleum Sampang Pte Ltd 40% and Cue Sampang Pty Ltd 15%.
