The well, which has reached a total depth of 2,620m in the Barremian source rock interval, found oil shows and it discovered two potential oil reservoirs with 35m of gross thickness.

The company said that reservoir quality had only 5.6m of net reservoirs with average porosity of 13%.

A thin interval of around 1.2m at the top of the Middle F2 zone is interpreted to be oil bearing from log analysis.

According to the company, wireline formation pressure measurements were attempted, but no valid pressures were obtained, indicating that the reservoirs are low permeability at this location.

The depositional model suggests these sands are sourced from the east and therefore better reservoir quality may be expected downdip.
