Although the well-encountered net reservoir in the Abu Roash, Bahariya, and Alam El Bueib targets, the logs did not indicate the presence of hydrocarbons.

We are looking forward to the 2023 drilling campaign, which will initially focus on further development of the asset by the drilling of ASH-8 followed by the ASD-3 well. These development wells are targeting the most prolific areas of the Abu Sennan licence, to maximise production before the drilling of at least one further exploration well in Abu Sennan later in the year. We look forward to updating the market with further details of planned activity across our portfolio later in January.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abu Sennan license JV partner United Oil &amp; Gas Plc announces the completion of drilling operations on the ASW-1X exploration well in the Abu Sennan license, onshore Egypt.\u00a0United holds a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/egypt-kuwait-energys-asw-1x-in-the-abu-sennan-license-disappoints\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":12912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,7446,11],"tags":[8712,7655,10943,10942,8815,10325,8717],"class_list":["post-13072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-north-africa","category-top-news","tag-abu-sennan-licence","tag-ash-field","tag-ash-8","tag-asw-1x-well","tag-kuwait-energy","tag-sino-tharwa-1-rig","tag-united-oil-gas","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Egypt-Abu-sennan-3-e1670314306748.png?fit=379%2C320&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-3oQ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":12820,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/egypt-ash-4-well-to-be-tied-into-the-existing-facilities-in-the-abu-sennan-licence\/","url_meta":{"origin":13072,"position":0},"title":"EGYPT: ASH-4 Well to be Tied into the Existing Facilities in the Abu Sennan licence","author":"","date":"November 16, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"-\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Preliminary test results from the ASH-4 well-test indicate a flow-rate of 2,101 bopd and 3 mmscf\/d (c. 2,700 boepd gross; 594 boepd net) from the Alam El Bueib (AEB) reservoir on a maximum 40\/64\" choke -\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0On a reduced, 32\/64\" choke, which is expected to be more representative of the producing\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Countries&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Countries","link":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/category\/countries\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Egypt-Abu-Sennan.png?fit=874%2C581&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Egypt-Abu-Sennan.png?fit=874%2C581&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Egypt-Abu-Sennan.png?fit=874%2C581&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Egypt-Abu-Sennan.png?fit=874%2C581&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":12911,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/egypt-united-oil-gas-announcecommencement-of-drilling-asw-1x-exploration-well\/","url_meta":{"origin":13072,"position":1},"title":"EGYPT: United Oil &#038; Gas AnnounceCommencement of Drilling ASW-1X Exploration Well","author":"","date":"December 6, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Following mobilisation of the Sino Tharwa-1 rig to site, the operator of the Abu Sennan licence, KEE, has notified the Joint Venture partners that the ASW-1X well has commenced drilling.
