Gulfsands Petroleum tested its Dardara Southeast 1 discovery well (DRC-1) on the Rharb Center Permit in northern Morocco; testing has been concluded and the well suspended as a future gas production well.
The company said that during an eight-hour test of DRC-1 the gas flow rate reached 9.4 Mmcf/d on a 40/64-inch choke with no associated production of formation water or sand.
The rig used to drill and test the well was moved to the Douar Ouled Balkhair drilling location, where it spud the DOB-1 well spud on January 27. Operations on the DOB-1 well are expected to take 28 days.
The company is committed to drilling three more wells on the Rharb concession, including in the Rharb Sud permit. The terms of its Rharb permits have now been extended to November 9, 2015.
The firm added that technical work is ongoing to evaluate prospective oil targets on the Moulay Bouchta, Rharb Sud, and Fes permits.
