Africa Oil reports New Gas discovery at Sala prospect in Block 9 in Kenya

Africa Oil reported that it has made a gas discovery in Block 9 onshore Kenya. The Sala-1 drilled a large 80 sq km anticlinal feature along the northern basin bounding fault in the Cretaceous Anza graben and encountered several sandstone intervals which had oil and gas shows. The well was drilled to a total depth of 3030 m and petrophysical analysis indicated three zones of interest over a 1000 m gross interval which were subsequently drill stem tested. An upper gas bearing interval tested dry gas at a maximum rate of 6 mmcfpd from a 25 m net pay interval.


The interval had net reservoir sand of over 125 m and encountered a gas water contact so there is potential to drill up dip on the structure where this entire interval will be above the gas water contact. A lower interval tested at low rates of dry gas from a 50 m potential net pay interval which can also be accessed at the up dip location. It should also be noted that there were oil shows while drilling and small amounts of oil were recovered during drilling and testing which indicates there may be potential for oil down dip on the structure. Africa Oil is the Operator of Block 9 with a 50% working interest. Marathon Oil Kenya has the remaining 50% interest.


An appraisal plan to follow up this discovery is currently being evaluated by the partnership in consultation with the Kenyan government. Plans being discussed include an up dip location to confirm the a real extent of the gas zones tested where the full net sand interval can be intersected above the gas-water contact. The partnership is also considering a down dip appraisal location to test an on lapping stratigraphic wedge on the flanks of the structure which is of the same age as the zones in the nearby Ndovu-1 well which had oil and gas shows.


In addition, the company is considering drilling an appraisal well on the crest of the large Bogal structure to confirm this large potential gas discovery which has closure over an area of up to 200 sq km. The gross best estimate of prospective resources for Bogal are 1.8 Tcf of gas based on a third party independent resource assessment. The company currently has two optional slots on the Great Wall drilling rig used to drill the Sala-1 well that are available for this appraisal program.


The company believes there is a very strong market for gas development in Kenya and have already engaged in discussions with power companies and the government to potentially fast track a gas to power project that could add significant value and create benefits for the people of Kenya. In 2013 the Government of Kenya launched its "+5000 MW by 2016 - Power to transform Kenya" initiative with ambitious plans to increase Kenya' s power generating capacity by 5,000 Mega Watts in 40 months. This plan includes significant generating capacity fuelled by imported LNG and coal which are currently being bid. The discovery of indigenous gas in significant quantities in Block 9 has the potential to offer a far more cost effective fuel source for these power projects that will also provide positive environmental and local development benefits. Significant interest exists with development agencies and commercial independent power producers to partner on power developments in Kenya.


The Company is also gave an update on additional exploration and appraisal activities in Kenya and Ethiopia.


In Kenya, the Company has 4 additional rigs active in the South Turkana Basin where oil discoveries have previously been at Ngamia, Twiga, Agete, Amosing, Ekales, Etuko and Ewoi.


The PR Marriott 46 rig has recently completed the Ngamia-2 well which was drilled 1.7 km from the Ngamia-1 discovery well to test the northwest flank of the prospect. The well encountered up to 39 m of net oil pay and 11 m of net gas pay and appears to have identified a new fault block trap north of the main Ngamia accumulation. The reservoirs were high quality with more than 200 m of net reservoir sands with good permeability inferred from MDT sampling. The well has been suspended for testing and the rig will continue to drill up to 4 additional appraisal wells in the Ngamia field area for an extended well test program. A 3D seismic program is currently being concluded over the field area which should allow for detailed mapping of the fault trends.


The SMP-5 rig has completed testing operations on the Agete-1 well where it confirmed the Auwerwer pay previously released, the well flow rate was tested at 500 bopd. This rig is now currently on location at the Ewoi-1 discovery and is preparing to test, after which it will continue to be used to test discovery and appraisal wells in this basin.


The Weatherford 804 rig is currently drilling the Agete-2 downdip appraisal well and will then move to drill the Etom prospect located 7 km north of the Agete discovery along the basin bounding ' string of pearls' trend.


The Sakson PR-5 rig is drilling ahead on the Amosing-2 downdip appraisal well, with a planned sidetrack, and will then move to drill the Kodos and Epir (formerly Aze) prospects, which will be the first exploratory wells to test the Kerio Basin, located immediately adjacent to the prolific S. Lokichar basin.


Finally, the Exalo 205 rig is drilling ahead on the Gardim prospect, located in the Chew Bahir basin in the South Omo block in Ethiopia. The partnership is in discussions on the next prospect to be considered for drilling in this block.

Explorers see promise in Egypt oil, gas when subsidies eased

Explorers in Egypt expect constraints on domestic energy prices to loosen, prompting new investment in oil and natural gas fields.


Companies including Citadel Capital SAE, Circle Oil Plc and Petroceltic International Plc expect President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to make good on promises to reduce subsidies of more than $20 billion a year and ease demands that producers sell fuel on the domestic market well below international prices, they said at a conference in London on June 27.


The changes would allow the government to cut the budget deficit and pay suppliers money owed for fuel, said Mohamed Shoeib, a managing director at Cairo-based Citadel. It’s a necessary first step if Egypt wants to lure back investors driven from the country by recent turmoil as it tries to both increase exports and meet surging domestic energy demand.


The government “should tackle the problem and not escape it,” Shoeib, whose company has about $10 billion invested, mostly in Egyptian energy projects, said in an interview. “It should happen very soon.”


Egypt is poised to become a net fuel importer as authorities divert gas from export projects to meet local demand, sometimes failing to pay the suppliers. The practice prevented the UK’s BG Group Plc from meeting contracted LNG shipments this year. The company has been in talks with the government about guarantees for future exports, with receivables for gas still owed by Egypt doubling in a year to March 31.


Oil Minister


Egypt plans to pay at least $1.5 billion to energy suppliers before the end of the year, or about a quarter of its debt as of April, Reuters reported June 26, citing Oil Minister Sherif Ismail.


Egyptian General Petroleum Corp., the state energy company, “is doing the best it can” to pay off the debt, said Chris Green, CEO at Circle Oil. “The key thing is reducing subsidy.”


Sea Dragon Energy Inc. plans to acquire additional assets in the country, said CEO Paul Welch. “The time is great now to get involved in Egypt.”


Oil producers receive international prices for their products in Egypt, while gas suppliers are paid only a fraction of what they could earn from exports when they sell on the domestic market, Stephane Foucaud, a London-based analyst at FirstEnergy Capital Corp., said in an interview at the conference.


“The gas price simply has to increase” and that will “unlock exploration” because some fields are not economic to drill at the current tariff, said David Thomas, COO at Petroceltic. “The country is full of opportunity. My question is, when the race will start?”

Statoil makes high-impact gas discovery offshore Tanzania

The discovery of an additional 2 Tcf to 3 Tcf of natural gas-in-place at the Piri-1 well brings the total of in-place volumes up to approximately 20 Tcf in Block 2, offshore Tanzania.


“Since 2012, we have had a 100% success rate in Tanzania and the area has become a core exploration area in a very short period of time. We quickly went from drilling one well to a multi-well program, and with Piri-1 we are continuing the success,” said Nick Maden, senior V.P. for Statoil' s exploration activities in the Western Hemisphere.


The new gas discovery was made in the same Lower Cretaceous sandstones as the gas discovery in the Zafarani-1 well drilled in 2012.


The Piri-1 discovery is the venture' s sixth discovery in Block 2. It was preceded by the high-impact gas discoveries Zafarani-1, Lavani-1, Tangawizi-1 and Mronge-1, and a discovery in Lavani-2.


Piri-1 was drilled by the drillship Discoverer Americas. The well is two km southwest of the Lavani-1 well at 2,360 m water depth. The Discoverer Americas has now moved location and is currently drilling the Binzari prospect in Block 2.


“Additional prospectivity has been mapped and will be tested throughout 2014 and 2015. We expect to drill several additional exploration and appraisal wells and hope that the results from these wells will continue to add gas volumes for a future large-scale gas infrastructure development,” said Maden.


Statoil operates the license on Block 2 on behalf of Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) and has a 65% working interest. Exxon Mobil Exploration and Production Tanzania Limited holds the remaining 35%. Statoil has been in Tanzania since 2007, when it was awarded the operatorship for Block 2.
