Decklar Resources announced an update to operations at the Oza-1 well re-entry at the Oza Oil Field in Nigeria. The company says it continues to make considerable progress on the Oza-1 well re-entry with the camp and all associated infrastructure fully installed and operational.
The major components of the drilling rig equipment are being transported to the field this week and it is anticipated the rig will be completely moved, installed and rigged-up within two weeks. Decklar will then commence the Oza-1 well re-entry operational activities including the initial work of pulling out the existing tubing, running a cement bond log and cased hole reservoir logs. The re-entry activities will then include the testing of three oil bearing zones (L2.2, L2.4 and L2.6) independently and then it is anticipated that a final dual-tubing string completion will be installed and the L2.2 and L2.6 zones placed into production upon successful testing.
The drilling rig is expected to then be skidded on the same drill pad as Oza-1 to a new drilling slot and a horizontal development well will be drilled in the L2.4 zone and placed on production. The Oza-1 well and new horizontal development well are anticipated to generate significant production levels and cash flow in an abbreviated time frame due to the already existing infrastructure in place. The Oza development is anticipated to then continue with one or two more re-entries on existing wells and additional development drilling program with a potential of eight to ten wells being drilled for the full field development. Additional early production and central processing facilities will be added as required to accommodate additional production levels from field development activities.
The Oza Oil Field has significant export and production capacity through processing facilities and infrastructure already in place and operational, which will allow for the immediate export and sale of crude oil from the Oza-1 well.
Decklar is also announced that it continues to make good progress on evaluations and negotiations for additional proven undeveloped oil and gas fields in Nigeria that have significant reserves and near-term production potential.
