Corcel JV spuds Tobias-14 in Kwanza

Corcel plc’s consortium partner has spud the Tobias 14 well on the onshore KNON-11 block in the Kwanza basin, onshore Angola.

Begin: initial flow testing of the well once target depth has been reached (stock photo)                                    

PRODUCTION

TO-14 follows drilling of TO-13 which earlier this month encountered “potentially productive zones in multiple intervals” throughout the Binga reservoir.

A well testing programme for both wells will begin after operator Sonangol reaches total depth of TO-14, before flowing both wells and designing an early production system. 

Corcel has a 20% working interest (18% net) in the brownfield development.

Chief executive Antoine Karam said: “We expect a broadly similar timeline to results as with TO-13, and we look forward to initial flow testing of this well once target depth has been reached.”
