Mart Resources, Inc. and its co-venturers on the Umusadege field, Midwestern Oil and Gas and SunTrust Oil saw their UMU-8 well on the Umusadege field side-tracked and deepened to 9,506 ft. A seven-inch liner was run and cemented from 6,652 to 9,478 ft.
Mart said XIIc, XIX, XXb, and XXI were perforated and a dual string, sliding sleeve completion was installed to enable testing and potential production from multiple intervals. The XIIc sand is completed in the short string, the XIX and XXb commingled in the first interval for the long string, and the XXI sand as the second interval in the long string. Initial clean up and production testing is currently underway.
Following the clean up and testing of the UMU-8 well, the rig will be skidded to an adjacent location on the same drilling pad to prepare for the drilling of the UMU-14 horizontal well, a new well in the central east area as a second well for the VII sand. After drilling and completion of the UMU-14 horizontal well, the operator plans to conduct multi-rate production tests and bottom hole pressure buildup surveys for both the UMU-8 and UMU-14 wells.
NLNG is sponsoring the construction of the first major ship yard in Nigeria. The ship yard, estimated to cost $1.5 billion, will aid the West African country in becoming a maritime hub.
Currently Nigeria does not have a dry dock for maintaining and repairing large crude vessels, a major drawback for carriers sailing to the country, NLNG spokesman Tony Okonedo told Reuters.
Helping to finance the construction of the ship yard are Samsung Heavy Industries and Hyundai Heavy Industries who have both agreed to contribute $30 million towards the building of the facility.
The ship yard will be constructed in Badagry, near Lagos.
