British SDX Energy makes gas discovery in northern Morocco

Xinhua,May 09, 2018 Adjust font size:

RABAT, May 8 (Xinhua) -- The British SDX Energy has made a new conventional natural gas discovery near northern Morocco's city Kenitra, the company announced in a statement Tuesday.

The discovery was made at its LMS-1 exploration well to a total depth of 1,158 meters and encountered 16.4 meters of net conventional gas pay sands, the statement said.

The well has been completed as a conventional natural gas producer and will be perforated and tested approximately 30 days after the drilling rig leaves the site, it said.

"We are very pleased with the results of this exploration, as it has significantly exceeded our pre-drill estimates for both reservoir quality and pay sand thickness," Paul Welch, president and CEO of SDX, said.

Seven of the company's nine-well campaign in Morocco have been announced successful and the discovery is the last of the seven wells to date. Enditem
