Savannah Petroleum spud the second well in its three-well drilling campaign in Niger, the Amidigh-1 well. The well is located on the R3 portion of the R3/R4 PSC Area of Niger’s Agadem Basin.
As with the first well in the program, the Bushiya-1, the Amidigh-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. Savannah’s competent person, CGG Robertson, has assessed total mean unrisked recoverable resources at Amdigh of 39 million barrels.
Drilling is expected to take around 30-35 days, using Rig GW-215, and the well design is deviated to reach all desired sub-surface objectives. It is planned to be drilled to a total depth of 2,576 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 and completion using a dedicated testing/workover rig.
