Savannah Petroleum’s fourth well in its current drilling campaign in Niger was spud. The company spud the Eridal-1 well on July 27 on the R3 portion of the R3/R4 PSC Area in southeast Niger.
As with the other wells in this campaign, Eridal-1 is designed to evaluate potential oil pay in the Eocene Sokor Alternances as the primary target, with the secondary target of potential oil pay in the Eocene Upper Sokor being considered as upside.
Drilling is expected to take about 30-35 days, using Rig GW-215. The well is planned to be drilled to a total depth of 2,592 meters. Savannah plans to log all prospective sections within the well, with further logging employed for hydrocarbon bearing sections. In the success case, the well will be suspended for future re-entry and further evaluation, which could include well testing.
