Exploration
Dana Gas has announced a new gas and condensate discovery from its Dabayaa-1 exploration well in the West Manzala Exploration Concession in Egypt. The well penetrated a gas bearing interval in the Lower Abu Madi Sandstone. An extensive DST programme was carried out giving a production rate of 16.5 million cubic feet of gas per day (2,800 barrels of oil equivalent), and 330 barrels of condensate per day through a 32/64” choke.
Centurion Petroleum Corporation, the upstream division of Dana Gas, drilled the Dabayaa-1 well to a total depth of 3,001 meters and encountered a hydrocarbon-bearing interval that extends over a 10 square kilometer area. Estimates of recoverable reserves from this new discovery are being evaluated.
