A 16-well development drilling programme will begin in the second half of November, which is set to result in a significant increase in production from the Bualuang field.
2012 average daily production for the group remains in line with previous guidance of 10,500 - 11,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Meanwhile, the B8/38-8 (NW-1) well continues to drill ahead below 740m measured depth and is expected to reach total depth in around 10 days' time.
