Manaia-2 Progress Report # 2
Cue Energy Resources Ltd (Cue) advises that the Manaia-2 well is at a depth
of 754m MDRT at 0600 hours local time on 13 September 2013. Current
operations are preparing to run and cement the 13 3/8 " casing. Since the
last report, adverse weather conditions caused the suspension of operations
for a significant period of time and drilling of the 16" hole section did not
commence until 10 September. Following the current operation the BOP will be
run prior to commencement of drilling the 12" hole section.
Manaia-2 is located in PMP 38160 in the offshore Taranaki Basin, New Zealand.
The well is operated by OMV New Zealand Ltd and is being drilled from the
semi-submersible drilling rig 'Kan Tan IV'.
The well is located 1.25 km north of Maui-4 (which discovered the Manaia
field) and 6 km to the southwest of the Maari field well head platform. The
well has a planned total depth of 2,850m and drilling is expected to take
about 30 days. The undeveloped Moki and Farewell Formation reservoirs that
will be appraised by Manaia-2 have the potential to add 11 million barrels of
gross reserves to the Manaia field.
Cue will provide weekly progress reports during the drilling of Manaia-2.
Participating interests in PMP 38160 are as follows:
Cue Taranaki Pty Ltd 5%
Horizon Oil International Ltd 10%
(a subsidiary of Horizon Oil Ltd)
Todd Maari Ltd 16%
OMV New Zealand Ltd 69% (Operator)
