Upstream gas company Sound Energy has announced that TE-8, the third well at the Tendrara licence located in onshore Morocco, was drilled to the final target depth at a measured depth (MD) of 3,120m.
The final vertical depth of the TE-8 was 3,066m, nearly 359m into the Paleozoic formation.
The company previously confirmed the identity of the presence of a TAGI sand sequence, starting from an MD of 2,643m containing gas.
Sound Energy also stated to have identified further gas shows during subsequent drilling operations at the property.
However, these should be taken as a positive initial indication, which can be confirmed only after further wireline logging and analysis.
Sound Energy will now advance with a full data acquisition programme containing five wireline logging runs, including the pressure and fluids sampling acquisition.

The company will announce the final results of the well after the completion.
Sound Energy holds 55% working interest in the Tendara licence along with the operatorship.
The remaining 25% stake lies with ONHYM and 20% with Oil & Gas Investment Fund.
The first well (TE-6) was drilled at the property during the first half of last year to a measured vertical depth of 2,665m and encountered nearly 28m of net gas pay in the TAGI reservoir.
The second Tendara well (TE-7) was drilled to a total measured depth of 3,459m, carrying a vertical depth of 2,611m.
TE-7 has a total contact length through the TAGI reservoir of approximately 837m, which achieved a gas flow rate of 32MMscf/d, post stimulation.
