The initial results from SDX Energy’s SD-1X well on Egypt’s South Discuq concession are in. The well was drilled to a total depth of 7,777 ft, and encountered 82 ft of net pay in the Abu-Madi section.
Well test operations have now commenced and the well has successfully flowed dry natural gas at a stabilized rate of 25.8 Mmscf/d on a 48/64″ choke. This flow rate exceeded initial expectations and was limited by the surface facilities put in place to test the well.
The well has now been shut in for an initial build-up after which a series of additional flowing periods will be conducted and fluid samples taken. The results from the well testing program will be integrated into the on-going reserve evaluation work. The results of that exercise will then be incorporated into an early development plan proposal for discussion with our partners and the authority.
SDX will now aim to bring the discovery into commercial production as soon as possible.
