SDX Energy, announced that a successful production test has been conducted at its SD-4X appraisal well at South Disouq, Egypt (SDX 55% working interest and operator).
The well flowed at a maximum rate of 30.4 mmscf/d during an eight hour clean up period and was then shut in for eight hours, during which time no pressure decline was observed. Following this, by varying choke sizes the well was flowed for two successive 12-hour periods at average rates of 5.4 mmscf/d, 8.6 mmscf/d respectively and one extended flow period of 24-hours at an average rate of 10.5 mmscf/d.
The SD-4X well was subsequently shut in for a pressure build-up of 120 hours, which is currently on-going. At completion of the build-up the downhole pressure gauges will be retrieved and the well suspended prior to being connected to the local production facilities. During testing a total of 23.38 mmscf of conventional natural gas was produced.
In addition, the company has announced that the acquisition of 240sqkmof 3D seismic in the Gharb Center in Morocco has commenced. The seismic acquisition operations are anticipated to take between 45 and 60 days after which the data will be processed and interpreted during Q4 2018.
