In the Republic of Congo (ROC), Anglo African Oil & Gas announced the results of its continued work on the TLP-102 well on the Tilapia license. The well was opened on June 17 with a view to bringing it online.
According to the company, when the well was opened, it was believed that heavy water was found to be blocking the tubing. As a result of this information, the company decided to conduct a swabbing exercise and engaged Slick Line to carry out the work on a turnkey contract. Slick Line commenced work on June 19.
Eight runs were made down hole and crude oil (with no associated gas) was recovered to surface. The oil samples appear to be identical to samples from TLP-101 and have been sent for testing. The well requires two further runs in order to fully complete the work program, which will be finished this week.
Due to the absence of gas in the well, a pump will need to be installed. The company intends to install this pump following completion of Slick Lines’ work program.
Based on the data obtained during the work, the Company’s reservoir engineers now expect a minimum flow rate of 120 bopd from TLP-102 once the pump has been installed.
Anglo African also received a notification from its specialist transport contractor, Ocean Transport, who are responsible for delivering the rig, SMP 102, from Port Gentil in Gabon to the Tilapia site, that the transport vessel, the Kota Bakat, on which the rig is to be loaded, is late in arriving and is now due to arrive in Port Gentil on July 4. The company will provide further updates in due course.
