With the delivery of all conventional ESP systems (including spares) now secured the forward work plan is to successively workover the previously drilled and completed wells, installing conventional ESP systems, and drill one production well into the recently discovered northern flank of the Hibiscus field (announced by the Company on 21 May 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current campaign will therefore result in a total of eight new production wells across the Hibiscus \/ Hibiscus South \/ Ruche fields (in addition to the six pre-existing production wells at the Tortue field). The increased well inventory will allow for an extended production plateau for this current phase of the Hibiscus development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bourdon Prospect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rig contract extension is also expected to include the drilling of a well to test the Bourdon Prospect which is located in a water depth of 115 metres approximately 7 kilometres to the southeast of the BW Mabomo production facility and 14 kilometres west of the BW Adolo FPSO. The Bourdon Prospect has an estimated mid-case potential of 83 million barrels in place and 29 million barrels recoverable in the Gamba and Dentale formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>John Hamilton, CEO of Panoro, commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cOur recent drilling successes announced in May, which resulted in material new discoveries at extensions of the Hibiscus South and Hibiscus fields,&nbsp;<\/em><em>have prompted the Dussafu partners to expand the scope of the current campaign to incorporate eight new production wells and prioritise these low-cost \/ high-margin fast-track development opportunities. The extension of the Borr Norve rig will also allow us to fully transition to conventional ESP systems at all production wells and ensure that we drill the exciting high-impact Bourdon prospect in the current campaign, in line with our infrastructure lead exploration and appraisal strategy aimed at unlocking the substantial organic upside that exists on the block.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Production Gross production at Dussafu in Q2 2024 was 21,184 bopd (3,707 bopd net working interest to Panoro) and includes the effect of 21 days planned annual maintenance shut-down of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/gabon-panoro-energy-provides-dussafu-operations-update\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":14446,"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":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,11,7444],"tags":[11625,11627,11628,8680,11371,11626,11382,8316],"class_list":["post-14445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-top-news","category-west-africa","tag-borr-norve-rig","tag-bourdon-prospect","tag-dhbsm-2h-production-well","tag-dussafu","tag-fpso-bw-adolo","tag-hibiscus-fields","tag-hibiscus-south","tag-panoro-energy","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Gabon-Dussafu.webp?fit=1000%2C744&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-3KZ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14742,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/gabon-panoro-energy-announces-significant-oil-discovery-at-the-bourdon-prospect\/","url_meta":{"origin":14445,"position":0},"title":"GABON: Panoro Energy Announces Significant Oil Discovery at the Bourdon prospect","author":"","date":"March 10, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Panoro Energy announces a significant new oil discovery has been made at the Bourdon prospect, located on the Dussafu Marin Permit offshore Gabon in which Panoro holds a 17.5 per cent participating interest.
