Harbour Energy has noted operator Mubadala Energy’s announcement that the Layaran-1 well has made a significant gas discovery on the South Andaman licence (Harbour 20%), offshore North Sumatra, Indonesia.
Layaran-1 is the first of a four well exploration campaign targeting the same Oligocene play as the successful Timpan-1 well drilled on Andaman II (Harbour operator, 40%) in 2022.
The rig will now move to drill the Harbour operated Halwa and Gayo wells on Andaman II.
