Oil Search announced that as part of the PNG LNG project, ExxonMobil is drilling nine development wells on the Hides field at the Papua New Guinea site.
Six wells (two each from Wellpads B, C and D) have been completed, while drilling is ongoing on two wells at Wellpad G and on the produced water disposal (PWD) well.
The first of the two Wellpad G development wells has now reached total depth. The well encountered the gas-bearing Toro reservoir and will be completed as a producer, as planned.
