Manora well offshore Thailand moves into second phase

Manora well offshore Thailand moves into second phase

Tap Oil Ltd. has provided an update on exploration drilling in the Manora
oil field area in the northern Gulf of Thailand.

Last week the jackup Atwood Orca started drilling the MNA-17 well from the
Manora platform.

This is an appraisal/pilot well, appraising the 500 series sands and
assessing a separate untested fault block, the Manora West Structure, which
could de-risk the Greater Manora West prospective resources.

MNA-17 (AP) well reached a TD of 1,916.5 m (6,288 ft) TVDSS. It intersected
three sands in the Primary 500 sand target, the upper two of which were
water wet with the lower sand delivering a log-derived oil column of 2.1 m
(6.9 ft) TVDSS in good-porosity reservoir.

The deeper Manora West Fault block target intersected a low porosity
reservoir with minor oil shows.

Drilling has now commenced on the MNA-17 (AJ) well path, which will use the
upper pilot section before being side tracked northeast into the central
fault block as a new production well.

It should take seven days to drill with a planned depth of 1,981.2 m (6,500
ft) TVDSS.
