JKA some thing is about to happen , and not before time
The Hammamet West oil discovery is located on a large anticlinal feature in the Bargou Exploration Permit, in the Gulf of Hammamet, offshore Tunisia, in water depths of approximately 50 metres. Two vertical wells have so far been drilled on the feature: • Hammamet West-1 was drilled in 1967 and encountered oil fluorescence in the Tertiary Birsa Sands. Log interpretation indicates that 7 metres of net oil pay is present in the Birsa, which was not tested. • Hammamet West-2, drilled in 1990, recovered sub-commercial volumes of oil on test of the Late Cretaceous Abiod Formation. The results of the two wells indicate the presence of a gross oil column of at least 190 metres in the Abiod Formation within the West Hammamet structure.
