The Lore-1 exploration well was drilled by the Songa Offshore semi-submersible drilling unit Songa Mercur in contract area JPDA 06-103 in the timor Sea, 550 km west northwest of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Lolotoe-1 was designed as a vertical exploration well to test the Lore structure, prominent tilted fault block in the southern part of JPDA 06-103. Primary objective were the Elang and Plover Formation sandstones. The secondary objective possibility of Flamingo Group.
Water depth at the Lore-1 location was 358.9 meters at lowest astronomical tide (LAT). The rotary table elevation was 22.4 meters. The Songa Mercur arrived on location on 18 November 2009 and Lore-1 was spudded on 20 November 2009, reaching the total depth of 3581 mMDRT on 7 December 2009. The well did not encounter any significant moveable hydrocarbons in the objective intervals. The well was plugged and abandoned and the rig release on Dec 2009.
