Indonesia Energy begins drilling second Kruh block well

Indonesia Energy Corporation Ltd has started drilling the second of three new back-to-back wells on its 63,000-acre Kruh block onshore Sumatra.

The drilling is part of the company’s plan to drill a total of 18 new wells on the block over the next three years.

Drilling of the Kruh-26 well began the 22^nd August. Target total depth is 3,400 feet. It is expected to take about 60 days to complete all drilling operations.

Drilling and completion is expected to cost US$1.5 million.

The first well, Kruh-25, discovered oil, the company noted in July. Kruh 25 well was drilled to a depth of 3,368 feet.

The oil-bearing interval in the well was thicker and therefore larger than anticipated, the company said at the time.
