The Evans Shoal North 1 well, drilled in 111 meters water depth and to a target depth of 3955m , is 12 km away from the Evans Shoal-2.
Results indicate that these wells share common reservoir characteristics and are in hydraulic communication. During the well production test the gas flow reached the facility constraint of 30 MMscf/day. Eni estimates that the Evans Shoal gas field contains at least 8Tcf of raw gas in place.
