It follows on from the successful TE-6 well which confirmed a significant gas discovery and returned better than expected results.
Sound Energy PLC (LON:SOU) has provided a brief update on its drilling operations at the Tendrara gas project in Morocco, where the latest well has now been drilled to the first casing point.
The well, Tendrara 7 (TE-7), has now reached a depth of 462 metres, and casing has been set and cemented in the Aalenian dolomite formation, Sound Energy told investors.
Drill will now continue down to a depth of around 2,150 metres, which will be the second casing point.
TE-7 follows on from the successful TE-6 well which confirmed a significant gas discovery, and returned better than expected results.
Work on TE-7 got underway on Thursday with aim of assessing the potential of block ahead of putting together a field development plan.
The latest drilling is taking place around 1.6 kilometres from the site of TE-6 and will go down to 3,440 meters, before the drill bit is steered at an 88 degree angle into the targeted TAGI reservoir to provide a horizontal drain of between 600 and 900 metres.
The plan is then to test the well for 70 days to give a comprehensive read-out from TE-7.
