RELEASE
(ASX: CUE; NZX: CUE; POMSOX: CUE; ADR/OTC: CUEYY)
Manaia-2 Progress Report # 7
Cue Energy Resources Ltd (Cue) advises that the Manaia-2 well is at a depth
of 2005m MDRT at 0600 hours local time on 18 October 2013. Current operations
are preparing to run and cement the 9 5/8" casing. Since the previous report,
the wireline logging operation was successfully completed without incident.
During the wireline logging operation, fluid samples with indications of oil
were recovered from the Moki Formation and several oil stained cores were
recovered. Analysis of these samples is ongoing.
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 the programme is now expected to
take 58 days in total due to delays caused by adverse weather and rig
repairs. 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)
