Positive results of production tests on exploration wells in Gabon
Production test rate of more than 1,000 bopd on both wells.
The Mabounda-1 (EZMAB-1D) and Niembi-1 (EZNI-1D) exploration wells on the EZANGA
permit in Gabon were drilled on independent structures to a total depth of
2,060 metres and 2,425 metres, respectively.
24 hour-duration tests were run on each of the two wells with the following
positive results:
* The Grès de base test on the EZMAB-1D well showed a stabilised eruptive flow
of 1,002 bopd of anhydrous oil with a degree API of 28°. The surface
pressure is stabilised at 9 bars.
* The test at the Lower Kissenda summit on the EZNI-1D well showed a
stabilised eruptive flow of 1,162 bopd of anhydrous oil, with a degree API
of 35°. The surface pressure is stabilised at 40 bars. The other hydrocarbon
impregnated reservoirs at the Upper Kissenda and at the base of the Lower
Kissenda, with different pressure system, will be tested later.
These new oil discoveries made by Maurel & Prom in Gabon confirm the exploration
themes in the sedimentary basin being carried out in the south-west part of the
Onal field.
Maurel & Prom works on a project to connect the two wells to the Onal production
centre located not far away and will present to the Direction Générale des
Hydrocarbures the field development plan for the fields.
Maurel & Prom, the operator, owns 100% of the Ezanga exploration permit and 80%
of the production licences. The state of Gabon owns 20% of the interests in
these production licences.
