West Kom Ombo is an exploration block in Upper Egypt, which is in its second exploration period and covers an area of 20,948 sq km after the first period relinquishment.
In Q1 2016, ahead of the drilling of two exploration wells (2/2017), Energean conducted a 2D seismic survey and acquired 400 km of data, bringing the total coverage on the block to 2000 Km.
Preliminary processing results and interpretation on Line 50001 (see picture on the left) showed well pronounced prospective structure developments within the well identified interior rift system at the northern part of the Concession.
The new integrated study over the Sin El Kaddab interior/ Lacustrinal Rift System at the southern part of the concession, showed a well developed thick sedimentary sequence, partially deeper than the adjacent oil producing Kom Ombo Rift system.
One large prospective structure was seismically mapped over a deep seated/ well pronounced paleo-Magnetic 4-ways dip closure.
The mapped drilling location is surrounded by
deeper depositional area and is in direct drainage patterns of
potential mature late Paleozoic-Jurassic source rocks.
Additional 16 sizeable HC structural Leads
within reach to paleo Magnetic depositional depocenters/ Potential
mature kitchen area were also identified within Sin El Kaddab
sedimentary basin to be matured to prospective drilling locations upon
reprocessing of previously acquired seismic data by previous operators.
History
Energean has also acquired a block-wide high
resolution aeromagnetic survey in the beginning of the second
exploration period in 2014.
The company was awarded an extension of the
second exploration period in January 2015, while in the first period
(2010), 700 km of 2D seismic were acquired and two wells were drilled.
Both wells encountered good quality reservoir
sands (25-30% πορώδες) and significantly upgraded the subsurface
understanding of this frontier area.
