Soco EPC, the operator of the Marine XI Block offshore the Republic of Congo (ROC), saw success with the testing of its Lidongo X Marine 101 ST1 (LXM-101) exploration well. The well significantly exceeded predrill expectations, reaching a post stimulation frac peak rate of 5,174 bpd of oil and 3.65 Mmcf/d of natural gas.
The LXM-101 well was drilled to a total depth of 2,665 meters, encountering oil in a clastics sequence in the Djeno sand formation with drilling shows and early log interpretation indicating approximately a 50-meter gross interval.
The test, over a perforated 20-meter section, produced at a stable average flow rate of 4,800 bpd and 3.5 Mmcf/d on a 56/64” fixed choke with a flowing wellhead pressure of 778 psi following the successful execution of the stimulation frac. The well results will now be analyzed in order to determine the continuity of the well with the nearby discovery in the Marine XII Block.
