Hyperdynamic’s reported that it is seeing background gas levels from the Paleocene and Upper Cretaceous sections of the Fatala-1 well. The company said that these sections have been consistent with approximately 200% of the level encountered in the equivalent section of the nearby Sabu-1 well, completed in 2012.
Hyperdynamics says that this supports the geophysical interpretation by eSeis of a gas cloud overlying the prospect.
“I’m pleased with our excellent operational progress as well as with early indications that support the geophysical model of the prospect. I am also happy to report that we are finished with the top portion of the Fatala-1 well, which is the deepest water well ever drilled offshore Africa,” said Ray Leonard, president and CEO of Hyperdynamics. “In the final drilling stage, we will drill the 12-1/4 inch hole through the interval that we believe holds the potential for a world-class hydrocarbon discovery.”
Leonard added, “Hyperdynamics operational team has relocated to Conakry in Guinea for this crucial last portion of the well operations and is not affected by the current devastating storm in Houston. We are making all efforts to ensure the safety of our Houston staff and send our prayers and best wishes to the people of Houston and the surrounding areas in this difficult time.”
