Circle Oil Finds Gas Onshore Morocco
Circle Oil Plc’s SAH-W1 in the Sebou Permit onshore Morocco encountered gas shows at three levels within the target Guebbas sands. Casing had to be installed due to mechanical problems before drilling a 6-in. hole through the main target interval. The wireline logging confirmed the presence of three gas-bearing zones, and subsequent pressure testing in the 6-in. hole confirmed permeable, high-pressure reservoirs, Circle Oil said in a press release.
The well is located within the western central area of the Sebou Permit.
The net pay from wireline log analysis is 6 m (20 ft) in the Top Guebbas, 6 m in the main target Intra Guebbas and 3 m (10 ft) in the lower part of the Intra Guebbas. The plan, Circle Oil said, is to produce the three zones sequentially from the bottom up.
