Rockhopper Exploration updated its activities in Egypt on the Abu Sennan concession and the El Qa’a Plain concession. At Abu Sennan, the development well Al Jahraa-6 on the Al Jahraa field is set to spud any day. The primary objective of the well is the producing AR-C reservoir, at the crest of the structure. The well has an additional exploration target in the deeper Bahariya Formation sands which are productive in adjacent licenses. This well is expected to take approximately 60 days to drill and will be immediately followed by a second development well in the field the Al Jahraa-10.
The water injection program in Al Jahraa is progressing to schedule and injection is expected to commence in mid-July. The third and final well in the 2018 Abu Sennan drilling campaign is an exploration well targeting Prospect S.
On the El Qa’a Plain the exploration commitment well, the Raya-1X, reached TD on June 30. At the primary Nukhul Formation objective, wireline logging confirmed the presence of good porosity sands, although no hydrocarbons were encountered. The well has been plugged and abandoned.
