Texas/US – Exxon Mobil has recently announced that it has encountered hydrocarbons after drilling the onshore P’nyang South-2 well, located in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea. The well was safely drilled to 8,940 feet (2,725 m), reaching high-quality, hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs in the Toro and Digimu sandstones, consistent with pre-drilling expectations. The well confirms the southeast extension of the field.

Oil Search began drilling the P’nyang South-2 well on October 22, 2017. The well is located in petroleum retention license 3, which covers 105,000 acres (425 square km). Exxon Mobil affiliates operate the license with a 49 % interest in the block. Affiliates of Oil Search, drilling operator, have a 38.5 % interest and JX Nippon has 12.5 % interest.
