Agadem Rift Basin Test Indicates 22-m Net Oil Reservoir Sandstones
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Savannah Petroleum announced an oil discovery at exploration well #1-Amdigh. The well is on the R3 portion of the R3/R4 PSC Area in the Agadem Rift Basin in Niger. Preliminary results based on the interpretation of the available data indicate that the well encountered an estimated 22 m of net oil bearing reservoir sandstones in the E1 and E2 reservoir units within the primary Eocene Sokor Alternances objective. Wireline logs indicate good-to-excellent reservoir properties and quality with light oil. It was drilled to 2,469 m and a production test is planned. Once completed, the rig will move to drill #1-Kunama to evaluate potential oil pay in Sokor Alternances as the primary target, with the secondary target of potential oil pay in the Eocene Upper Sokor. Savanah’s headquarters are in London.
