CAMAC Reveals Success with Oyo-8

Tuesday, August 5, 2014

CAMAC Energy Inc.  released its preliminary results on the drilling of the Oyo-8 well offshore Nigeria on OML 120. The Oyo-8 development well commenced drilling on June 15 and has both a vertical and a horizontal section. The vertical section was designed to test for additional hydrocarbons in the previously undrilled Eastern fault block of the Oyo field.

According to the company the well was drilled to a total depth of 6,059 ft, and successfully encountered four new oil and gas reservoirs with total gross hydrocarbon thickness of 112 ft based on results from the logging-while-drilling (LWD) data, reservoir pressure measurement, and reservoir fluid sampling.

The well will now be completed horizontally as a producer in the Pliocene formation of the Central Oyo field. Oyo-7, which was successfully drilled in October 2013, will also be completed horizontally in the Pliocene formation of the Central Oyo field.

“This is an excellent result from the vertical section of Oyo-8, as it positively established oil presence in new reservoirs in the Eastern fault block. We have commenced a detailed evaluation of the results with a view to establishing the size of the incremental reserve additions,” said Segun Omidele, senior VP of Exploration and Production. “We are one step closer to bringing these two high-impact development wells on production that will generate immediate revenues, cash flow, and earnings for our shareholders.”
