Sound Energy has deemed its TE-7 well in Morocco a success, the second in a row the company has drilled on the Tendrara permit to date.
The well was successfully drilled to a measured depth of 3,459 meters, corresponding to a vertical depth of 2,611 meters. According to Sound, the TE-7 has a total contact length through the TAGI reservoir of some 837 meters, including a 700-meter sub-horizontal section.
The company has now completed operations and is pleased to announce that it has achieved a gas flow rate towards the end of the clean-up process, post stimulation, of 32 Mmscf/d with a flowing tubing head pressure of 230 bar on a choke of 40/64. Sound said this rate is significantly above pre-drill expectations. Based on the clean-up phase, the well’s potential is predicted by the Company to be significantly above 40 Mmscf/d with a 50% drawdown.
Sound will now proceed with the planned extended well test of TE-7 to confirm production sustainability and to aid comprehensive field development planning. The TE-7 bottom hole reservoir pressure and its correlation with the gas gradient of the other Tendrara wells will be announced after conclusion of the extended well test.
