SDX energy announced a new gas discovery on the South Disouq concession with the drilling of its SD-4X well. The SD-4X well was drilled to a total depth of 7,806 feet and encountered 89 feet of net conventional natural gas pay in the Abu Madi horizon, which had an average porosity in the pay section of 24%.
The well came in on prognosis with a reservoir section of similar quality but thicker than the original SD-1X discovery well.
The well will be completed as a producer in the Abu Madi and then tested after the drilling rig has moved off location. The testing is anticipated to commence between 30 and 45 days after the rig departs, depending on the availability of testing equipment.
Assuming a successful test, it is anticipated that the well will be connected to the infrastructure located adjacent to the original SD-1X discovery, where production start-up is anticipated late in Q4. After completion, the rig will move to the SD-3X well which is the second of two appraisal locations included in the 2018 development program.
