Abstract:
The Kitan Oil Field is located in the northern Bonaparte Basin within the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA), an area jointly administered by Timor-Leste and Australia. The Kitan structure is a Jurassic E-W trending tilted fault block. The Kitan 1 exploration well was drilled and successfully tested in early 2008. Kitan 2 appraisal well was drilled immediately after Kitan 1 and intersected the reservoir up-dip from Kitan 1and confirmed the extension of the oil accumulation.
