Khaberni - Khalda Petroleum, the General Petroleum Company, and Desouk Petroleum have announced their success in drilling new exploration wells in their concession areas in the Western and Eastern Deserts and the Nile Delta.
Khalda Petroleum succeeded in achieving three new oil and gas discoveries, which include:
Well WKAN-X W-2X in West Kanais development,
Well TAYIM W-13X in West Kalabsha development,
Well TUT-29 (ST1) in Khalda development.
The test results of these wells showed production rates reaching up to 2550 barrels of oil and condensates and 29 million cubic feet of gas per day. Plans are underway to link these wells to production soon, while continuing to evaluate the added stock and reserves.
In the Nile Delta, Desouk Petroleum, in partnership with Harbor Energy, successfully drilled the appraisal well Az-2 in Desouk development, where electric logs confirmed the presence of a gas-bearing sand layer in the Abu Madi reservoir with a thickness of 23 meters.
The Az-1 well has already been linked to production at a rate of 10 million cubic feet of gas and 500 barrels of condensates daily, and preparations are currently underway to connect the Az-2 well to the network.
In turn, the General Petroleum Company — fully owned by the state — has succeeded in putting new wells into production in both the Western and Eastern Deserts, with a total production reaching 8 million cubic feet of gas and over 1250 barrels of oil and condensates daily.
Among these achievements are:
Connecting Well GPR-3 in the new GPR field (Western Desert) to production at a rate of 8 million cubic feet of gas and 250 barrels of condensates from the "Marine" layer for the first time,
and the connection process was executed in a record time of only two days at the condensate separation station in the Abu Sinan area.
The Kharaza 5 well in the Eastern Desert has also been brought into production at a rate of 1000 barrels daily, a direct result of the seismic survey conducted by United Energy, responsible for managing the field operations.
These discoveries reflect the ongoing progress in the Ministry of Petroleum's strategy to maximize domestic energy production, support the state's efforts to bridge the gap between supply and demand, and enhance national energy security.
