Drilling Activity Summary

Description

SDX Energy announced a gas discovery at an exploration well in the Gharb Basin. The #1-Beni Malek was drilled to 1,551 m and encountered commercial quantities of gas in both target horizons (Upper and Lower Guebbas). According to the company, the discovery at #1-Beni Malek and the previously completed #2-OYF confirm that the prospectivity in its existing core production and development area extends to the north. Based upon results from both wells, the London-based company has de-risked up to 20 Bcf of P50 prospective resources for future drilling of which approximately 10 Bcf is located in and around #1-Beni Malek. SDX estimates that #1-Beni Malek produced approximately 900 MMcf of gas in Upper and Lower Guebbas, and it is estimated that Upper Guebbas flowed approximately 400 MMcf of recoverable gas.
