The South Madura PSC lies on the southern side of Madura Island, offshore northeast Java in Indonesia. It is located immediately to the north of the Santos-operated Sampang block, containing the Oyong, Anggur and Jeruk oil and gas fields, and to the south of the Bukit Tua and Jenggolo oil fields.
One well has been drilled in the block by the Joint Venture:
- Kurnia-1, drilled in 2007/8.
The Kurnia-1 well encountered good shows of gas and oil in the fractured Kujung reservoir and the well flowed gas to surface on test. However, the test was compromised by a combination of high formation pressure and mechanical problems that resulted in the testing equipment becoming blocked. The well was plugged and abandoned, but the prospect is not considered fully tested and has the potential for further evaluation.
The Joint Venture acquired a 2D seismic survey in the western part of the block in 2007-08 to firm up prospects for potential drilling. As a result of this seismic, the Joint Venture is planning on drilling the Gigir East well in 2010.
