As at 1900 hrs BRT on 15 March 2015, the Kangaroo West-1 exploration well is drilling ahead in the 12-1/4' hole section at 1,759 mRT.

Since the 16 March 2015 Progress Report No 1, the 20' casing was run to a depth of 1,106 mRT followed by drilling the 17-1/2' hole section to a depth of 1,700 mRT. The 17-1/2' bottom hole assembly (BHA) was then replaced with a 12-1/4' BHA and the well drilled from 1,700 mRT to the current depth of 1,759 metres.

The Kangaroo West-1 exploration well is located in block S-M-1165, on the western flank of the same salt structure as the Kangaroo oil field and has the same trap type and reservoir and seal intervals that have been mapped into the prospect from surrounding wells.
