Egypt saw a new gas discovery with the drilling of the Nooros prospect on ENI’s Abu Madi West license. The well, the Nidoco NW2 Dir new field wildcat well (NFW), is located in the Nile Delta.
According to ENI, preliminary results from the well indicate a potential of 15 Bcm of gas in place, plus associated condensates.
The Nidoco NW2 Dir NFW well, which reached a total depth of 3,600 meters, encountered a 60-meter thick gas bearing sandstone interval of Messianian age with excellent petrophysical properties, further of other gas layers in the overlying Pliocene section.
The new discovery will be put into production in two months’ time through a tie-in to the existing Abu Madi gas treatment plant.
ENI, through its subsidiary IEOC Production BV, holds a 75% of working interest in the West Abu Madi development lease, with BP as a partner with 25%. Petrobel, equally owned by IEOC and EGPC, is the operator of the concession.
