Desire to plug and abandon Dawn well
By BFN News | 08:17 AM | Tuesday 04 January, 2011

North Falkland Basin-focussed Desire Petroleum will plug and abandon the 25/5-1 well on the Dawn/Jacinta prospect. It said the well had reached a total depth of 1,697 metres in pre-rift sediments. Desire added: "Based on preliminary drilling and wireline logging data there are no significant hydrocarbons in the Dawn prospect and the well will be plugged and abandoned with gas shows around 1,434 metres. "The lithology in the section from 1,313 to 1,697 metres is predominantly claystone and good quality sandstone with 71 metres of net reservoir based on initial log analysis." Wireline logging and abandonment operations will now be completed and the rig will then go to Rockhopper Exploration to drill one or two wells, subject to regulatory approval. The rig will then return to Desire to drill a well at a location still to be finalised and subject to regulatory approval. The Dawn well was testing a significant fault block at the southern margin of the main basin, some 28 km from previous well control, with primary reservoir targets in the syn-rift and pre-rift. These targets are stratigraphically older than the reservoirs in the East Flank play. The implication of the well results for remaining prospectivity in this part of the basin will be assessed once the new data has been integrated and all post-well studies are complete
