A 16,000ft exploration test of this multi-segment prospect is expected to spud on 18 December 2010 with the well to drill through the Oligocene target sands between 14,000ft and 16,000ft where it is expected to encounter abnormal reservoir pressure of 11,000psi.
Case Oil and Gas is the operator for the prospect, while Quest Petroleum, Tango Petroleum and Transfer Energy are the partners for the project.
The company considers Amazon to be a multi-segment prospect with prospective reservoirs supported by AVO data within a proven play fairway.
