Eland Oil & Gas PLC announced the update on the Opuama field in licence OML 40. Opuama-9: The Opuama 9 well was completed and on production on 21 of June 2018. The well, a dual completion, with the short string producing from the D1000 reservoir and the long string from the D2000 reservoir, is presently being tested on variable chokes to determine the optimum production rate. As an indicative interim production result from the MER test, the short string is being produced on a 36/40" choke at 3,200 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") and the long string on a 40/64" choke at 3,800 bopd. It is encouraging that the combined total of 7,000 bopd (3,150 bopd net to Elcrest) is beyond the upper end of previous gross guidance of 4,000 - 6,000 bopd (1,800 - 2,700 bopd net to Elcrest). Opuama-10: Following completion of the Opuama-9 well the OES Teamwork Rig moved to and spudded the Opuama-10 well. The well is currently at a depth of 3,599 feet, where the 13 3/8" casing has been run and cemented. The rig will now drill the 12 ¼" hole to a measured depth of 10,200 feet, with primary targets in the D1000 and D5000 reservoirs and secondary targets in the D3500 and D4000 reservoirs. Initial gross production is expected to be between 4,000 and 6,000bopd (1,800 - 2,700 bopd net to Elcrest). Opuama Field Production: The Opuama field is currently producing at approximately 25,000 bopd (11,250 net to Elcrest), an all-time record for OML 40. This includes both strings of production from Opuama-9 which has just been brought onstream at higher levels than anticipated. The company has seen an increased water-cut from Opuama-7 and hence taking remedial action to rectify this. A re-entry of Opuama-7 is expected to take place during the coming month. Production is still expected to be in excess of 30,000 bopd (13,500 bopd net to Elcrest) from Opuama upon completion of the Opuama-10 well.
