Rafael Shallow 1 Well Drilling & Rafael 1 Workover Environment Plan
Buru Energy (Company) has developed the Well Drilling & Workover Environment Plan (HSE-PLN-048) (Environment Plan) for the management of environmental aspects associated with drilling and testing of the Rafael Shallow 1 conventional well, workover and testing of the Rafael 1 well, and care and maintenance operations (the Activity). This Summary Document summarises the operations and mitigation and management measures in the Environment Plan.
It is expected that the Activity will commence in the 2024 dry season at the Rafael Shallow 1 location. The workover and subsequent testing of Rafael 1 is likely to occur in the 2025 dry season.
Well Drilling and Testing
The drilling rig will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week with two crew shifts totalling approximately 30 personnel for the drilling operations. A Company Representative will supervise the Activity.
Drilling a well generally involves the following key stages:
• drilling the well as a number of hole sections/intervals with decreasing diameter;
• installing steel well casings in drilled hole sections;
• filling the annulus outside the well casings with cement as required for well integrity; and
• installing a tubing/completion with Christmas Tree on surface for production purposes..
Testing may be conducted to evaluate prospective zones if positive results of hydrocarbons are determined during initial testing, or to test injectivity of the well. This will be undertaken following completion of drilling operations and demobilisation of the drilling rig.
