CAIRO, Egypt– RWE Dea Egypt has confirmed an extension of the North Sidi Ghazy-1x discovery in the Nile Delta with a successful development well.
NSG-1-2 was drilled in the North Sidi Ghazy structure and reached TVD of 2,843 m (9,327 ft) below the sea surface. The well confirmed the extension of gas resources and Messinian (Abu Madi formation) reservoir properties on the eastern side of the field.
RWE Dea has now moved the Weatherford 94 rig to the South Sidi Ghazy-1-2 well to develop the northern extension of the South Sidi Ghazy-1x discovery.
The North Sidi Ghazy-1x gas discovery flowed about 1 MMcm/d (35.3 MMcf/d) of gas on a 50/64 in. choke.
The latest well has been temporarily suspended and will be completed as producer, along with other wells, later this year.
