SDX Energy Discovers Gas At SAH-2 Well On Moroccan License

9th Mar 2018 11:22

LONDON (Alliance News) - SDX Energy Inc said Friday that it has discovered gas at the SAH-2 well on the Sebou permit in Morocco.

"We are very pleased to be able to announce another discovery, the fifth from seven wells drilled to date in our nine well Moroccan campaign," said President & CEO Paul Welch.

"This was also the first well in the Gharb basin that was successfully drilled using downhole directional tools which allowed us to penetrate the crest of two individual targets with a single well-bore. We will use these tools when drilling our next well, LNB-1, an exploration well in our Lalla Mimouna concession, for a similar reason. By successfully targeting the crests of specific horizons, we now have the ability to improve the recovery efficiency from individual wells," Welch added.

The SAH-2 well was drilled to a total depth of 1,304 meters and encountered 5.2 meters of net conventional natural gas pay across two zones in the Guebbas and Hoot formations with an average porosity in the pay section of 33%, the north Africa focused oil and gas company said, adding that the well came in on prognosis but with a reservoir thickness above pre-drill expectations.

The well will now be completed, tested and connected to existing infrastructure.

Shares in SDX were up 1.7% at 47.02 pence in morning trade Friday.
