A net gas pay interval of nearly 36m has also been interpreted within the primary target sandstone reservoir.
Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said: “This result builds on our understanding of the potential resources in the Southern Rakhine Basin and will further inform our consideration of development options.”
The Woodside-operated Pyi Thit-1 well was drilled to a total depth of 4,570m, following which the company conducted wireline logging and confirmed the presence of a gas column by taking pressure measurements and gas sampling.
A drill stem test was carried out across a 29m section of the reservoir and flowed at nearly 50mmscfd on a 44in / 64in choke for 44 hours indicating strong reservoir pressure support.
