Drilling Activity Summary

Description

United Oil & Gas has provided an update on the testing of exploration well #1X-ASD in the Abu Sennan concession, onshore Egypt. The well is northeast of Al Jahraa Field. It was drilled to 3,750 m and encountered a combined net pay total of at least 22 m across several reservoir intervals, including the primary reservoir targets of the Abu Roash-C and Abu Roash-E, as well as Lower Bahariya and Kharita. The Lower Bahariya reservoir had a maximum flow rate of 1,619 bbl of oil, and 2.84 MMcf of gas per day during testing on a 64/64-inch choke. The Abu Roash C flowed 1,215 bbl of oil and 1.371 MMcf of gas per day during testing on a 64/64-inch choke. A development well, #8-AJ is planned. London-based United holds a 22% non-operating interest in Abu Sennan, which is operated by Kuwait Energy.
