Drilling on the West Gharib Concession in Egypt has resulted in a discovery for SDX Energy. The company made an oil discovery with the drilling of the Rabul-2 well on the concession where it holds a 50% stake and is joint operator.
The well encountered approx. 101.5 ft of net heavy oil pay across the Yusr and Bakr sand formations. According to SDX, an evaluation is ongoing, after which it expects the well will be completed as a producer in the Bakr and connected to the central processing facilities at Meseda.
The Rabul-2 well is the last of the commitment wells in the West Gharib concession and was drilled as an offset to the first commitment well Rabul-1, which was drilled in July 2017. Rabul-1 encountered 14.5 ft of net heavy oil pay in the Yusr sands and was subsequently completed as an oil producer.
