The well was drilled to a total depth of 2,500m to test the hydrocarbon potential of the Oligocene CD-sandstone. While drilling, hydrocarbon shows were encountered at multiple levels and the CD-sandstone was successfully reached. A detailed log acquisition and interpretation was completed and two potential hydrocarbon zones, including the main CD-sandstone target, were identified for testing operations.
The first test was over the CD-sandstone interval which failed to recover hydrocarbons due to the low permeability of the reservoir. A second test in the Oligocene “Kranji” reservoir flowed gas to surface with high CO2 content. Following the test results the Tengis-1 well was plugged and abandoned.
