Marabella Enterprises Limited, Operator for the PEP38716 Joint Venture, reports that during the last week the safety plug in the tubing was successfully retrieved and the well has been swabbed to encourage both the Murihiku and Kapuni formations to flow. So far only drilling mud and filtrate have been recovered with minor quantities of gas.

It is now planned to perform an acid wash, first on the Kapuni, to remove any lost circulation material that is impeding flow, and allow cleanup of the formation at higher flow rates. After the clean-up phase, the Kapuni formation will be flow tested separately over periods of several days before proceeding to cleanup and test the overlying Murihiku formation. ASX Announcement

Analysis of wireline logs, together with the results of DST 2, indicates that the well has discovered a new oil pool in the Murta Formation, but that reservoir productivity is not sufficient at the Maslins-1 location to warrant completion of the well. Good oil shows were also encountered at the top of the McKinlay Member. These results indicate, that although a commercial accumulation is not present at the Maslins-1 location, there is an active petroleum system in the area and it is possible that commercial oil is present elsewhere on the greater Maslins structure.
