The well was drilled to a depth of 1041m and during testing on a 32/64” choke, a flow rate of 1,600boepd of oil was recorded, according to the company.
The oil samples collected show a 33degrees oil which the company expects to be similar in characteristics to those produced on the Omko, Omgw and Omoc-N fields.
Hence, the company anticipates the oil samples to be potentially with less of a paraffin base than the oil produced on the Onal field.
This well has demonstrated the presence of a new compartment in the Gres de base, proving a Southeast extension of the Onal field, opening up new possibilities, according to the company.
A second well (OMOC-N-302) is going to be drilled as a deviation from the same platform over the next few weeks in order to determine the scale of this extension.
