ENI has resumed its activities onshore Tunisia. The Italian firm just completed operations on the Laarish East-1 discovery well on the Makhrouga-Laarich-Debbech License.
The Laarich East-1 reached the final depth of 4,111 meters discovering hydrocarbons in sandstone layers of Silurian and Ordovician age. Production tests revealed a delivery capacity of about. 2,000 bpd, confirming the upside potential of the concession identified through the recent three-dimensional geophysical survey carried out on the permit.
The well, whose drilling started in June, has already been connected to production. In the meantime, exploration activities in Tunisia are continuing with the drilling of additional prospects, which have been already identified on 3D seismic.
The drilling of Laarich East-1 is part of the company’s near field strategy, adopted to cope with the low oil price environment, and consisting in conducting exploration activities in the proximity of existing infrastructures with available spare capacity. In case of a discovery, this strategy allows for the optimization of development costs and competitive time to market for production start-up.
