Empyrean Energy plc
Block 29/11, China - Jade well reached Total Depth - No
hydrocarbons in target reservoir
27 April 2022
Empyrean Energy plc ("Empyrean" or the "Company"), the oil and
gas development company with interests in China, Indonesia and the
United States, provides the following update on drilling at the
Jade prospect at its 100% owned Block 29/11 permit, offshore
China:
HIGHLIGHTS
-- LH 17-2-1 well at the Jade prospect reached final total depth
of 2849 metres Measured Depth ("MD") in Pre-Tertiary granitic
formation
-- The interpretation from logging while drilling (LWD) and mud
logging equipment has indicated no oil pay in the target
reservoir
-- Current operations are running final logs before commencing demobilisation of the NH 9 rig
Empyrean is the operator of Block 29/11 in China and has 100%
working interest during the exploration phase. In the event of a
commercial discovery, its partner, China National Offshore Oil
Company ("CNOOC"), may assume a 51% participating interest in the
development and production phase.
Well results
Excellent quality reservoir rocks in the Zhujiang Carbonate
target were intersected as prognosed. The interpretation from
logging while drilling (LWD) and mud logging equipment indicated no
oil pay in the target reservoir. The well reached a final total
depth of 2849 metres MD at 6:00am this morning local time. Current
operations are the running of wireline logs. The wireline logs are
not expected to change the initial interpretation of no oil pay
seen on LWD.
Current operations
Wireline logging tools will now be run following a wiper trip
before commencing demobilisation operations of the NH 9 rig.
The information contained in this announcement has been reviewed
by Empyrean's Executive Technical director, Gaz Bisht, who has over
31 years' experience as a hydrocarbon geologist and
geoscientist.
Empyrean CEO, Tom Kelly, stated:
"We are extremely disappointed with the results of the well,
particularly after conducting a systematic and comprehensive
technical analysis followed by running a safe drilling operation.
We would like to thank CNOOC for all their support, CNOOC EnerTech
for managing a successful operation and COSL for conducting a safe
drilling operation. We plan to conduct a thorough analysis of well
log data before deciding the next step in Block 29/11".
