Amerada Hess' Halimun-1 exploratory well drilled by the TransoceanSedco 601 semi found hydrocarbons in deepwater Tanjung Aru block in the Makassar Straits off Indonesia's Kalimantan. The semi explored to a total depth of 7,877 ft beneath the seafloor in 3,480 ft of water.
The company said the Halimun-1, the first of a two-well exploration program on the block for this year, was drilled in the northern sector of the block in the Kutei Basin, approximately 34 km south of an earlier Mobil duster drillsite.
Sedco 601 was moved following the discovery well to drill the second exploration well, the Papandayan-1, some 14 km west of the discovery site. The Papandayan-1 is scheduled for a total depth of 8,700 ft targeting Late Miocene and Pliocene sandstones.
