Rossukon-2, which is 1km northeast of the Rossukon-1 discovery well, will identify Early Miocene stacked fluvial sandstones on a broad structural high.
The well will also appraise the Rossukon-1 reservoir, which tested 850 barrels of oil per day. It will find further volumes of oil that could move the discovery near to commercial development.
G6/48 covers 566km² in the Karawake basin, on the southern margin of the Pattani Basin and the north-west margin of the Malay Basin.
It lies to the north of the G10/48 license, where KrisEnergy is developing the Wassana oil field.
