Lundin Petroleum AB discovers oil offshore Malaysia

25 November 2011: Lundin Petroleum AB (Lundin Petroleum) has discovered oil in the Janglau-1 well that was drilled in Block PM308A, offshore Peninsular Malaysia. Janglau-1 was drilled to a total depth of 3,820 metres by the jackup rig "Offshore Courageous". The objectives of the well were Oligocene intra-rift sands and the underlying fractured pre-Tertiary section.

During drilling below 3,153 metres, oil was found in multiple pay sand units in an intra-rift sand/shale section that extended over a gross interval of approximately 300 metres. Oil samples were recovered at surface during drilling. The well was successfully logged and petrophysical analysis indicates 24 metres of net oil pay. Pressure testing and fluid sampling were completed and oil samples recovered for laboratory analysis. A mini-DST test was successfully completed. Following completion of the well further work will be undertaken on the data recovered to fully evaluate the discovery and it’s potential.
