Tunisia’s BHN-1 Comes up Dry for Africa Hydrocarbons

Tuesday, October 21, 2014

After the recompletion of operations of the Abiod limestone in its BHN-1 well on the Bouhajla Permit in Tunisia, Africa Hydrocarbons concluded and the well will be plugged and abandoned.

“All reasonable attempts to determine the hydrocarbon potential of the BHN-1 well were undertaken,” said John Nelson, CEO of Africa Hydrocarbons. “The perforation and acid stimulation were completed as planned but no hydrocarbons were recovered suggesting the fractures encountered at BHN-1 are not open and effectively connected, which was the primary risk at BHN-1. Despite the disappointment, the results of the BHN-1 well does not affect the prospectivity of the remaining structures and plays contained on the block.”
