达纳天然气公司宣布了 Begonia-2 评估井的初步结果以及埃及陆上尼罗河三角洲 Balsam-3 井重新完井工程的启动。

Begonia-2 是 Begonia 开发区的第一口评估井，也是 11 口评估和勘探井中的第一口。钻井和测井结果表明，该井初步估计蕴藏 90 亿立方英尺天然气，并将额外产出 500 万立方英尺/日。该井位于新 El-Manzala 特许权区，由合资公司 El-Wastani Patrolmen Company（Wasco）运营。钻井工作采用 EDC-54 钻机进行，预计下一口井将于 8 月开钻。

该公司还开始在其他地质层重新完井几口井，预计将增加储量并提高产量。目前，Balsam-3井的作业正在进行中，Dana Gas已将EGYPTCO钻机从封堵弃井（P&A）模式重新部署。重新完井后的估计储量为4立方英尺，预计日产量将增加300万立方英尺。Balsam-3井的成功完井预计将降低该地区钻探勘探井的风险，并进一步提高产量。

Dana Gas announced initial results from the Begonia-2 appraisal well and the initiation of re-completion works at the Balsam-3 well in Egypt’s onshore Nile Delta.

Begonia-2 is the first appraisal well in the Begonia development area and the first of 11 appraisal and exploration wells. Drilling and logging results indicate that the well contains 9 billion cu ft of gas as an initial estimate and will produce an additional 5 million cu ft per day. The well is located in the New El-Manzala concession and is operated by the Joint Venture El-Wastani Patrolmen Company (Wasco). Drilling is being carried out using the EDC-54 rig, and the next well is expected to spud in August.

The company also began to re-complete several wells in other geological layers, which are expected to add more reserves and enhance production. Work is currently underway on the Balsam-3 well, where Dana Gas has redeployed the EGYPTCO rig from its plug and abandonment (P&A) mode. Estimated reserves from the re-completed well are 4 bullion cu ft, with an anticipated additional production of 3 million cu ft of gas per day. The successful re-completion of Balsam-3 is expected to reduce the risk associated with drilling exploration wells in the area and further enhance output.
