Circle Oil’s Ksiri West–A (KSR-A) exploration well on the Sebou Permit, onshore Morocco, encountered gas while drilling. The well flowed gas at a rate of 8 Mmcf/d following tests.
The KSR-A well, which reached a total depth of 6,200 ft, perforated its primary Main Hoot target interval from 5,964 ft to 5,993 ft and registered the gas output on a 24/64 inch choke.
The well is now being tied back to the 75%-owned Circle Oil pipeline from Sebou to the industrial area of Kenitra, ready for production.
The rig used to drill KSR-A has relocated to drill the Caid El Gaddari–13 (CGD-13) well, which is the final well of Circle’s current drilling campaign. Depending on drilling progress rates, Circle Oil said the initial results of this well could be available in approximately 30 to 40 days.
