At least nine of the world’s top planned exploration wells for 2020 are at risk of being suspended as a result of the combined effect on oil and gas activities of the Covid-19 virus and the oil price war.
Drilling at the Sobhi well encountered 108 ft net of high-quality gas-bearing sands, with an average porosity of 20%, near the base of the Kafr El Sheikh formation.
The oil was discovered in the exploratory Natator well in the Sudoeste de Tartaruga Verde block.
The data covers the company’s Welwitschia Deep prospect and Marula lead.
