The results from Circle Oil’s SAH-W1 well on Morocco’s Permit are in. The well was drilled to a TD of 1,263 meters MD in June 2014, with gas shows encountered at different levels within the target Guebbas sands. The lowermost Guebbas zone has 3.6 meters of net pay and the test over this interval flowed at a sustained rate of 4.94 Mmscf/d on a 24/64″ choke during a period of five hours.
As is normal practice, Circle will produce from the lowermost Guebbas zone followed by the Main Guebbas zone sequentially from the bottom up, where the highest pressure is present. The rig has been released from SAH-W1 and is being transported to the Circle’s Lalla Mimouna concession to drill the company’s firs well on the acreage, the LAM-1 well.
The LAM-1 well is the company’s fifth well of the current drilling campaign and is located in the central part of Lalla Mimouna Nord on the east-west trending Anasba Ridge, within the existing 3D seismic area. The target of the LAM-1 well is for Miocene gas-bearing sands, similar to the Sebou discoveries made previously by Circle. The primary target sands are prognosed at a depth of 1,231 meters MD and the TD of the well at 1,521 meters MD. Further wells in Lalla Mimouna and Sebou permits will follow to complete the current program.
