Circle Oil knocked out a discovery with the drilling of its CGD-12 well on the Sebou Permit onshore Morocco. The well was spud in August and drilled to a TD of 1,232 meters measured depth. Gas shows, which were confirmed by wireline logging, were encountered at different levels within the Guebbas and Hoot sands.
The total net gas pay encountered in the well from wireline log analysis is 9.7 meters. The seven-inch liner was run and cemented and the first test over the secondary target Intra Hoot sands flowed at a sustained rate of 2.21 Mmcf/d. The second test over the main target Main Hoot sands flowed at a sustained rate of 4.62 Mmcf/d.
The well will be completed for future production and the Upper Hoot and Guebbas sands will be available for production at a later date.
The rig will now be moved to drill KSR-12, the third well of the Sebou campaign.
Commenting on the results of the CGD-12 well Prof. Chris Green, CEO, said: “We are very pleased to have another successful discovery in our Sebou permit and have proven additional reserves for potential gas production. This is the second well of a six well program to be drilled with our partner ONHYM in the Sebou permit and is coupled with another six well program in the Lalla Mimouna permit.”
