("United" "the Group" or the "Company")
Commencement of the 2022 Egypt drilling programme
United Oil & Gas PLC (AIM: "UOG"), the growing oil and gas
company with a portfolio of production, development, exploration
and appraisal assets is pleased to announce the spudding of the
ASD-2 development well in the Abu Sennan licence, onshore Egypt.
United holds a 22% working interest in the licence, which is
operated by Kuwait Energy Egypt (KEE).
Highlights
-- 2022 Abu Sennan drilling campaign has commenced with the spud of the ASD-2 development well
-- ASD-2 is the first well in a fully funded four well drilling campaign
-- The well is a follow-up to the commercial discovery that was made by the ASD-1X exploration well in 2021
-- It will target potential gross upside volumes of 5.5 mmbbls
STOIIP (operator's estimate) in the Abu Roash C reservoir
Following mobilisation of the ECDC-6 rig to site, the Company is
pleased to note that KEE have notified the Joint Venture partners
that the 2022 drilling programme has now commenced with the ASD-2
development well.
This well is a follow-up to the successful ASD-1X exploration
well drilled in 2021 which was a commercial discovery and tested
the Lower Bahariya and 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
The ASD-2 well is the first well in the fully funded four well
Abu Sennan 2022 drilling programme.
