With five out of the eight wells presently onstream, in addition to the six pre-existing wells at the Tortue field, we are moving to within touching distance of the targeted gross rate of 40,000 bopd from the block.&nbsp; Our current focus is on fully transitioning all the new wells to conventional ESP systems and restoring production at the three shut-in wells, after which we will drill the exciting Bourdon prospect 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\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gross oil production at Dussafu during Q3 averaged approximately 27,465 bopd, the highest quarterly rate achieved since start-up of production on the block in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following discovery in May of the Hibiscus Northern Flank, the DHIBM-7H production well has successfully been drilled into the discovery and put onstream with a conventional electrical submersible pump (ESP) system in early October at a rate consistent with previous wells on the block and in line with expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Completion of the DHIBM-7H well concludes the current production drilling campaign at Dussafu which has delivered eight new production wells across the Hibiscus \/ Ruche area and yielded two new discoveries, adding an estimated 23.1 million barrels of gross 2P reserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Borr Norve jack-up drilling rig will next undertake a workover \/ ESP replacement programme on certain existing wells (for which delivery of all necessary conventional ESP systems and spares has been secured). Upon conclusion of the workover programme all wells will have conventional ESP systems installed, resulting in gross production reaching the targeted 40,000 bopd level by year end.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bourdon prospect test well (DBM-1) will be the last rig operation under the current contract in early 2025. 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Hamilton, CEO of Panoro, commented: \u201cWe are pleased to have safely and successfully delivered the current production drilling campaign at Dussafu, which was expanded to eight wells in order &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/gabon-panoro-energy-provides-dussafu-operations-update-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":14043,"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":[11627,11703,11702,8680,944,8681,8316],"class_list":["post-14569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-top-news","category-west-africa","tag-bourdon-prospect","tag-dbm-1","tag-dhibm-7h","tag-dussafu","tag-gabon","tag-hibiscus","tag-panoro-energy","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Gabon-dussafu.jpg?fit=1000%2C744&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-3MZ","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":14569,"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.
