\u00a0<\/span>Following mobilization of the ECDC-6 rig to site, the Company is pleased to note that KEE have notified the Joint Venture partners that the 2022<\/span>\u00a0drilling programme has now commenced with the ASD-2 development well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This well is a follow-up to the successful ASD-1X exploration well drilled in 2021 which was a commercial discovery and \u00a0\u00a0tested the Lower Bahariya and\u00a0 ARC reservoirs. ASD-2 is targeting the north-western culmination of the ASD structure and will seek to prove up the gross upside volumes in the Abu Roash C reservoir, estimated by the Operator at 5.5 mmbbls, STOIIP, accelerate production from the field, and test a secondary target in the Abu Roash E reservoir. The well can be quickly tied into existing facilities, adding additional production and revenue for the Company.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ASD-2 well is the first well in the fully funded four well Abu Sennan 2022 drilling programme.<\/span><\/p>\n
