Deen Dayal well
Good news from GSPC’s Deen Dayal East field, located not far from Deen Dayal West - site of a major gas discovery offshore Andhra Pradesh.
PETROWATCH learns GSPC expects to find “good hydrocarbon bearing zones” in well DDE-APP-1, a ‘deviated’ well drilled by Aban Offshore’s jack-up Deep Driller-I in water depths of 101 metres. At present, the rig has drilled to a measured depth of 3472 metres, still short of its 5633-metre target, and a total vertical depth (TVD) of 2936 metres, still short of its 4810-metre TVD target.
“Third-party and in-house evaluation work for further appraisal activities at this block are also in progress,” we hear. Geological and geophysical agencies are busy evaluating ‘Q-Marine data’ to design an “optimal well programme” for the proposed Deen Dayal West development.
This data was jointly evaluated by GSPC and Texas-based oilfield service provider Blade Energy.
