Cairn 3rd Mannarwell Turned Up Dry

  • After two significant gas finds, Cairn India said on Monday its third well in offshore Mannar basin of Sri Lanka has turned up dry. Cairn Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cairn India, had made a gas discovery in the first well it drilled in the Mannar basin. A gross 25 metres hydrocarbon column was tested in it and 24 metres zone in the second well. With the third well, Cairn said it has successfully completed the first phase of the exploration campaign. It would now enter the second phase, which would involve appraisal drilling to establish the gas finds.
