United Oil & Gas plc announced that drilling had started at the Al Jahraa-13 development well in the Abu Sennan licence, onshore Egypt.
AJ-13
The AJ-13 development well will take some 65 days to drill and complete and will target stacked Upper and Lower Bahariya reservoir targets.
United added that the well was fully funded from operational cashflow and could be rapidly tied into existing facilities, adding additional production and revenue.
The well follows the Al Jahraa-8 well and will target the Upper and Lower Bahariya reservoirs in the Al Jahraa field.
PROGRAMME
The AJ-13 well is the fifth and final well in the Abu Sennan 2021 drilling programme.
The 2022 drilling programme is planned to consist of five exploration and development wells.
United holds a 22% working interest in the licence which is operated by Kuwait Energy Egypt.
