The well is currently drilling ahead after setting casing at 10,600ft MD in the Upper Rudeis, following the drilling through the Kareem Formation.
The Top Kareem Shagar was encountered at 9,731ft MD with 6ft of net pay and the Top Kareem Rahmi at 9,782ft MD with 19 ft of net pay (operator figures).
The secondary objective in the Lower Rudeis Formation has also been reached where oil and gas were tested in the Al Amir SE-6X well and strong gas shows were found in the interval 13,400ft-13,520ft.
The Al Ola-1X well is planned to be drilled to a total depth of 13,700ft.
Separately, the partnership has also agreed the required plans to bring the gas associated with the NW Gemsa Concession producing wells into production.
