DualEx Energy is installing production tubing at its BHN-1 well on the Bouhajla Permit in Tunisia. Following the evaluation of cased-hole logs the decision was made to configure the wellbore for testing purposes.
Several interpreted fracture intervals are observed within a 245-meter thick Abiod section. Elevated C1-C4 gas chromatograph readings along with evidence of micro-fractures observed in drill cuttings coincide with the potential fracture intervals.
DualEx plans to release the drilling rig once the tubing has been set and return with wireline perforating guns and a coiled tubing unit to perforate and acidize the selected test intervals as soon as possible.
The BHN-1 well is the first exploration well on the Bouhajla Permit. It is being drilled to evaluate a Cretaceous Abiod oil target on the Bouhajla North Prospect.
