The well, which was targeting hydrocarbons in the Miocene aged sands approximately 14km to the south of the Bertam field operated by Lundin Malaysia, was drilled with the West Prospero jackup rig.

Lundin Malaysia holds 75% working interest in PM308A, while block partner PETRONAS Carigali has 25% stake.
