Preliminary estimates of the resources associated to these new discoveries are at 50 Mboe of hydrocarbon in place.
The Jasmine W-1X well encountered 113 feet of net hydrocarbon pay in the Jurassic sandstones of the Khatatba formation with good petrophysical properties.
The production test proved a production rate of 2,000 barrel per day (bopd) of light oil (49°API) and 7 MMscfd of associated gas.
Jasmine MWD-21 well encountered 51 feet of net oil column in Cretaceous sandstones of the Alam El Bueib formation, with excellent petrophysical properties.
It is already tied-in to production, with a stabilized rate of 2,500 bopd.
In South West Meleiha, the SWM-4X well encountered 36 feet of net oil sand in Cretaceous sandstones of the Bahariya formation, with excellent petrophysical properties.
The production test proved an initial rate of 1,800 bopd with 0.3 MMscfd.
Altogether, the new discoveries add more than 6,000 barrels of equivalent oil per day (boed) to Eni’s gross production.
