Eland Completes Opuama-9

Sunday, June 17, 2018

Eland Oil & Gas, through its JV subsidiary Elcrest Exploration and Production Nigeria, successfully drilled and completed the Opuama-9 well. The production tree is currently being installed and the Opuama-9 well is expected to be handed over to the Opuama field production team.

The well will then flow test into the production facilities and on to export.

The Opuama production team will conduct a Maximum Efficient Rate Test (MER Test) incrementally testing the well at increasing choke sizes. It is expected that, following completion of the MER Test, initial gross production from Opuama-9 will be at the upper end of the company’s guidance of between 4,000 and 6,000 bpd.

In addition, following the successful completion of Opuama-9 infill well, the OES Teamwork Rig will mobilize to the Opuama-10 drill site with spudding expected before the end of this month. Initial gross production is expected to be between 4,000 and 6,000 bpd.
