Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Erin Energy Corp. announced results from #1-Oyo-NW in the Nigerian sector of the Gulf of Guinea on Block OML120. Preliminary evaluation indicated a hydrocarbon discovery in Miocene. It was drilled to a proposed depth of 12,218 ft and penetrated multiple sand units with total gross thickness of 260 ft between 7,052 and 10,873 ft. Evaluation of data showed the Miocene sand units U7.0 and U8.0 contained gross thickness of 83.6 ft that are hydrocarbon-bearing. Additional testing is planned before appraisal drilling and development. Houston-based Erin is the operator of Block OML120, Oyo Field, and #1-Oyo-NW well, with 100% interest.
