Paipai-1 well, registered as Block 10A was spud in September 2012 and completed drilling in the first quarter of 2013 to a total depth of 4,255 meters.
Light hydrocarbons were encountered while drilling a 55 meter thick gross sandstone interval. Attempts to sample the reservoir fluid were unsuccessful and the hydrocarbons encountered while drilling were not recovered to surface.
Unluckily, Africa Oil and its partners who are working on the well were unable to test the well at the time due to “the unavailability, in country, of testing equipment capable of handling the higher reservoir pressures encountered at this depth”.
“As a result, the well has been temporarily suspended pending further data evaluation.” says Africa Oil in their second quarterly report.
The well had tested a large four-way closed structure with Cretaceous-age sandstone targets at multiple depths.
