Vegas Oil & Gas, Circle Oil, and Sea Dragon Energy’s AASE-18 well on the NW Gemsa Concession’s Al Amir SE Field found net pay during drilling. According to Circle Oil, the well encountered the Kareem sands over 200 ft high to prognosis with 34 ft of net pay in the Shagar and 32 ft of net pay in the Rahmi, both zones of good reservoir quality.
Following successful logging, the well has been tested and completed as a Rahmi producer. Rahmi perforations between 9,757-9,797.5 ft MD were completed on August 30 and the well was put onto multi-rate testing and pressure build up the following day. The flow test on a 48/64” choke produced at a rate of 1,952 bpd of oil and 1.821 Mmscf/d of gas. Following a pressure build up, the well was connected for production with an initial flow rate on an 18/64” choke of 1,056 bpd of oil and 0.907 Mmscf/d of gas.
On August 23 the partners spud the AASE-15 well downdip of and 800 meters north-west of Rahmi producer AASE-18. This well is planned as a vertical hole to appraise the Shagar and Rahmi sands and, depending on reservoir quality and hydrocarbon saturation, may be completed as a Rahmi injector or a Shagar producer.
Professor Chris Green, CEO of Circle Oil said “Circle is very pleased with the results of the AASE-18 well, which will provide significant additional oil and gas production from the Al Amir SE field. This has resulted in a further increase in the total gross daily production to over 13,500 boepd.”
