據美國鉆井網站報道，獨立油氣公司聯合油氣公共有限公司（UOG）2021年12月29日宣布，部署在埃及陸上阿布塞南許可證區塊的Al Jahraa-13 (AJ-13)開發井，在含油的上、下巴哈利亞儲層目標中鉆遇了57.4英尺厚的商業純產層。

UOG表示，AJ-13井是Al Jahraa-8井的后續井，其完鉆時總深度達到了12,598英尺，比計劃提前了幾天完鉆，而且低于預算。 UOG指出，AJ-13井將在“未來幾天”進行測試和完井，然后通過現有的Al Jahraa設施立即投產。

UOG強調，AJ-13井是阿布塞南許可證區塊2021鉆井計劃的第5口井，也是2022年鉆井計劃開始前的最后一口井。 UOG指出，AJ-13井商業純產層的發現是UOG獲得該許可證股份以來在阿布塞南許可證區塊獲得的連續第7口成功井。

UOG首席執行官Brian Larkin在一份公司聲明中表示:“我們在2021年的鉆井活動中取得了出色的成績，2021年在阿布塞南許可證區塊成功鉆取了5口井?！?/p>

Larkin在聲明中補充道，“所有發現井都很快投產，為公司帶來了現金流。2021年的鉆井活動進一步消除了阿布塞南許可證區塊勘探潛力的風險，開發井為未來的勘探鉆井目標提供了更多有價值的數據，其中兩個鉆井目標ASF-1X和AST-1X已列入2022年的鉆井計劃 ?！?/p>

UOG在2021年11月12日宣布開鉆AJ-13井。 UOG在當時的一份公司聲明中指出，AJ-13井大約需要65天的時間鉆完，并表示其全部資金來自運營現金流。  

UOG成立于2015年，是一家石油和天然氣勘探、開發和生產公司，在埃及、英國、意大利和牙買加擁有現有資產。 根據該公司網站的數據，2021年上半年，UOG在阿布塞南許可證區塊的開采權益產量平均為2730桶油當量/天。  

2020年初，UOG完成了對Rockhopper Egypt Pty的收購，其中包括位于埃及陸上西部沙漠地區的阿布塞南許可證區塊22%非經營權益。

Commercial Net Pay Found onshore Egypt

United Oil & Gas PLC (AIM: UOG) announced on Wednesday that the Al Jahraa-13 (AJ-13) development well in the Abu Sennan license onshore Egypt encountered 57.4 feet of net pay in the oil bearing upper and lower Bahariya reservoir targets.

AJ-13, which is a follow up to the Al Jahraa-8 well, reached a total depth of 12,598 feet several days ahead of schedule and under-budget, UOG outlined. The well will be tested and completed “in the coming days” and will then be brought immediately onstream through the existing Al Jahraa facilities, UOG noted.

UOG highlighted that AJ-13 is the fifth and final well in the Abu Sennan 2021 drilling program before the 2022 drilling program begins. The discovery of commercial net pay in AJ-13 makes it the seventh successful well in a row at Abu Sennan since UOG acquired its interest in the license, the company pointed out.

“We have had outstanding results with our drilling campaign in 2021 with five out of five successful wells drilled at Abu Sennan this year,” Brian Larkin, UOG’s chief executive officer, said in a company statement.

“All of the wells have been brought into production quickly, generating cash flow for the company. The 2021 drilling campaign has further de-risked the exploration potential at Abu Sennan and the development wells have provided further valuable data for future exploration drill targets, two of which are included in the 2022 program; ASF-1X and AST-1X,” he added in the statement.

UOG announced the spudding of AJ-13 on November 12. In a company statement at the time, UOG noted that the well would take approximately 65 days to drill and complete and stated that it was fully funded from operational cashflow.

Established in 2015, UOG is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company with existing assets in Egypt, UK, Italy and Jamaica. The company’s working interest production at Abu Sennan averaged 2,730 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first half of this year, according to its website.

In early 2020, UOG completed the acquisition of Rockhopper Egypt Pty, which included a 22 percent non-operating interest in the Abu Sennan concession. The concession is located in the Western Desert region of onshore Egypt.
