The company drilled the well to a total depth of 13,078ft and 5-inch casing has been run to 13,062ft.
The well encountered a 6ft pay zone at 12,504ft on water and an approximately 24ft zone at 12,708ft.
Mechanical conditions in the wellbore prevented this zone from being fully evaluated by electric wireline logs, but it did exhibit mud log shows while drilling, the company said.
The SL 214 #1, a 19,500ft subsalt well in which Dune has a 15% working interest prior to payout, is currently setting 20-inch casing at 2,512ft.
Once this casing is set, plans are to drill about 11,000ft of salt, set 14-inch casing near the base of salt and then drill out into the potentially prospective Miocene interval between 13,400ft and 19,500ft.
