ENI saw success with its Nidoco NW 3 well in Egypt on the Abu Madi West License. The well was an appraisal of its Nidoco NW 2 Dir discovery. The field, which is estimated to contain about 15 Bcm of natural gas in place, plus associated condensate, was discovered in July and put into production after only two months; it currently produces more than 15,000 boepd. The production from the new well will start-up by the end of November.
During 2015, Nooros field will produce 30,000 boepd and is expected to reach a plateau of 70,000 boepd in the first half of 2016. The gas and condensates are sent to the Abu Madi’s treatment plant, about 25 kms from the discovery, and then routed in the Egyptian network.
Similarly to the discovery well, the Nidoco NW 3 was drilled from onshore to reach in deviation the Noroos reservoir located in the offshore shallow waters. The well encountered a 65-meter thick gas bearing sandstone layer of Messianian age with excellent petrophysical properties.
In parallel with the field development, ENI will continue its exploration activities in the license area, where it has identified a significant additional potential which will be tested through the drilling of other three new exploration wells.
