Eland Oil & Gas updated operations on its Opuama-3 well re-entry in Nigeria. According to the company canal access clearing operations have been completed, providing the required access to the Opuama-3 wellhead.
Mobilization of contractor equipment, crude storage barges, and the associated marine spread from Warri and Port Harcourt to the Opuama-3 wellhead has been completed. All equipment required for re-entry operations are on site.
Operations have begun and the planned Production Logging Tool (PLT) runs have been completed, successfully removing uncertainty with respect to oil and water producing intervals. Eland said the team will now carry out a water shut-off, before perforating the D2000 reservoir and an additional interval in the D1000 reservoir.
In addition, two new perforated intervals are expected, in aggregate, to produce a further 2,000 to 4,000 bpd (gross). Eland said it anticipates completing flow-testing of Opuama-3, including the two perforated intervals, within the coming weeks.
