Cooper Energy Ltd., the operator of the Bargou Permit offshore Tunisia, has commenced production testing on its Hammamet West-3 well. The current operation is rigging up coiled tubing to allow placement of acid in the horizontal section of the wellbore.
Since the last report extensive hole-cleaning operations have been conducted to remove lost circulation material (LCM) which had created a blockage in the 7-inch liner and open hole wellbore. The production test string was successfully run before commencing the clean-up flow operations. An initial acid treatment was performed and an initial clean-up flow for this phase was carried out.
Analysis of the clean-up flow has resulted in a decision to acid-stimulate the reservoir section through coiled tubing to facilitate flow of reservoir fluids from the reservoir to the surface.
Testing operations are expected to continue through the next seven to 10 days.
