The Skua-11 well is a subsea oil producer well located in the Skua field approximately 706 km (376 nautical miles) east of Darwin in a water depth of approximately 80 m in Commonwealth waters of the Timor Sea. Skua-11 well forms part of the Montara development, where crude oil from the Montara, Skua, Swift and Swallow fields is transported via flowline for processing at the well head platform (WHP) and Floating Production Storage Offtake (FPSO). The WHP currently has five production wells, and there are five subsea production wells located approximately 17 to 18 km from the FPSO.
This EP encompasses the well drilling program for the Skua-11 ST 1 well in Production Licence AC/L8.
The Skua-11 ST1 well activities are scheduled to commence between Q4 of 2024 and Q2 2025 subject to MODU availability, Regulator acceptance and long lead equipment arrival. Operations are likely to last for a period of approximately 72 days in total; however, timings are subject to weather and operational efficiency.
