Based on the interpretation of wireline log data, the Lockhart Formation (Exploratory Target) was tested successfully (post-acid stimulation) at a rate of approximately 17.9 million Standard Cubic Feet per Day (MMSCFD) of gas and 153 Barrels per Day (BPD) of condensate, with a choke size of 40/64 inches and a Wellhead Flowing Pressure (WHFP) of 2,017 Pounds per Square Inch (Psi).
This discovery mitigates risks associated with further explora
tion in the TAL Block, presenting new growth opportunities.
This find is expected to enhance the country’s energy security by utilizing i
ndigenous resources and contribute to the hydrocarbon reserves base of MOL, its Joint Venture partners, and the nation.
