Australia-based Bass Oil has highlighted an additional 1.6 million barrels (0.893 million barrels net) of low-cost, unrisked potential oil resources at two exploration prospects in the Tangai-Sukananti KSO area of the South Sumatra Basin, Indonesia.
These two new targets were discovered during an independent review of the company’s 55% stake in the KSO that was commissioned in 2017. Mega Adhyaksa Pratama Sukananto holds the remaining 45% stake.
The study was carried out by independent petroleum geoscience and engineering consultancy UNPAD, which is part of Indonesia’s Padjadjaran University.
The two exploration prospects target oil potential at multiple reservoir levels within the Talang Akar Formation, which contains oil-producing reservoirs in the existing Bunian TRM3SS, GRM and K1 sands and Tangai GRM, K1 and M sands fields.
The first prospect Sukananti Updip lies south of the Bunian oilfield. It has a high estimate upside of 3.156 million barrels oil on an unrisked, prospective, recoverable basis.
The second prospect Bunian West is a faulted, anticlinal closure to the west of the Bunian field and has a high-estimate upside of 0.814 million barrels of oil on an unrisked, prospective, recoverable, best estimate basis.
