SDX Energy has spud the Beni Malek-2 well (BMK-2) in the Rharb Basin of Morocco, just 1.5 km from the BMK-1 discovery well. The BMK-2 well will be drilled to a planned depth of approximately 1,470 meters and is targeting three stacked reservoirs in the Guebbas formation, which have been identified using 3D seismic.
This well follows the success of the KSR-21 well drilled in September 2023 and is part of an ongoing drilling campaign in Morocco. If BMK-2 is a success, the well will be completed and tied-in for production as quickly as possible, to supplement existing production and, in particular, provide to CITIC Dicastal, which is the company’s largest offtaker and has an immediate and increasing demand for SDX’s gas.
In Morocco, SDX Energy is the sole independent gas producer and has ambitions to be a major gas producer and works closely with state firm ONHYM, on all aspects of development and production. The gas from SDX’s wells is sold to multiple offtakers in the Kenitra industrial area.
