United Oil and Gas reports that Kuwait Energy Egypt, operator of the Abu Sennan license, has informed its joint venture partners that the drilling of the ASD S-1X well is expected to commence over the coming days using the ECDC-6 rig.
This exploration well is the final well of Kuwait Energy’s 2023 drilling campaign and is targeting an un-risked STOIIP estimated by United at c. 10 mmbbls gross across multiple reservoirs intervals, including the primary Abu Roash-C and Abu Roash-E intervals. The ASD S Prospect has been de-risked by the ASD Field, located about 2km to the north, which currently produces oil from the same primary reservoirs that are targeted in the well.
The well is expected to take around 40 days to drill and log, and if positive indicators for the presence of movable hydrocarbons are seen, the well will be completed and tested, according to the United announcement.
