Sound Energy reported that it has made a “significant gas discovery” at the Tendrara license, onshore Morocco.The first Tendrara well, TE-6, which was drilled to a measured vertical depth of 8,743 ft, achieved a stabilized gas flow rate of 17 Mmcf/d.
According to the company the flows were significantly above initial expectations.
Sound, together with Schlumberger, is now preparing to drill a second well at Tendrara, the TE-7, using sub-horizontal drilling techniques which are expected to significantly increase the individual well flow rate in a success case. This will be followed by an extended well test. The rig-up process at TE-7 is already complete and drilling is expected to commence this month.
TE-6 will be suspended until the results of TE-7 are confirmed, at which point Sound expects to apply for a production concession and commence detailed engineering for construction of the necessary infrastructure, which Oil & Gas Investment Fund (OGIF), one of the company’spartners, has already indicated an interest in funding, constructing and operating.
