Asia-focused explorer Salamander Energy has spudded the North Kendang-2 (NK-2) exploration well in its Indonesian South East Sangatta asset.
The NK-2 will be drilled to a depth of approximately 2,878 metres to evaluate the Upper Miocene section of the licence.
The well is a re-drill of a previous well, the NK-1, drilled to 2,535 metres before it was plugged and abandoned in April last year due to a high pressure wet gas kick.
Salamander is the operator of the SE Sangatta licence with 75% interest.
