Market Release (via electronic lodgement)
BULLSEYE PROSPECT: DRILLING UPDATE JUMONVILLE #1
Jumonville #1 Bullseye Prospect, Iberville Parish, Louisiana, Operator 41.25% WI
The Board of Golden Gate Petroleum (ASX Code: GGP) is pleased to update the market regarding the drilling of the Jumonville #1 well which spudded on 28 April 2008.
Prior to running an intermediate casing string to approximately 10,900ft measured depth, an over pressured interval was encountered. At this point, natural gas and saltwater inflows resulted in the drill pipe becoming differentially stuck.
After retrieving key bottom hole equipment and working to free the drill pipe, it was decided to sidetrack the well. The well has kicked off at 5,143ft and is currently drilling ahead below 6,000ft.
It is forecast that it will take approximately eight days to reach the required depth to set the intermediate casing string again and add modestly to the cost (estimated at US$350,000 for GGP).
As the well was five days ahead of schedule prior to the pipe becoming stuck it is currently estimated that, this sidetrack is estimated to add approximately five days to the total drilling days.
Partners in the Jumonville #1 well* are:
