This is the fifth of the seven development wells of the Phase-III drilling campaign in the Kharsang field.

The company is drilling the well with the primary objective of appraising the lower S-00 reservoir oil bearing sands together with a secondary objective of appraising the Q-00 and T-00 sand layers.

The well is being drilled to a target depth of about 1,480m true vertical depth and will be deviated by about 522m to the south from the existing plinth of the KSG#48 well.

The Kharsang field is operated by GeoEnpro Petroleum, a joint venture of GeoPetrol and Jubilant Enpro.

Jubilant holds a 25% stake in the block through its subsidiary Jubilant Energy (Kharsang), and other consortium members are Oil India and GeoPetrol.
