The Kareem Rahmi sand was perforated from 9,782ft to 9,802ft measured depth (MD) and is flowing at approximately 1,400bopd on a 28/64" choke.
The overall production from the Geyad and Al Amir SE fields is currently averaging 8,500bopd.
These production levels are now being managed to allow the planned water injection wells to be drilled and the waterflood to become fully operational.
For an interim period, production is expected to be 7,000bopd-8,000bopd after which oil production levels will be systematically and incrementally increased together with the planned gas production once the waterflood is in full operation.
Further development drilling is also envisaged with the drilling of Geyad-3.
In this regard, the Al Amir SE-7X water injector was spud on 27 November 2010 and is drilling ahead in the Belayim Formation at a depth of 8,677ft MD.
This well is also planned to drill deeper to test the Lower Rudeis potential earlier identified in wells Al Amir SE-6 and Al Ola-1X.
The planned total depth (TD) of the well is at 16,750 ft MD.
