A further WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORT from HDR
Note the missing portion re reservoir sands.
Hardman Resources Limited (“Hardman”) provides the following progress report on the
Mauritania offshore drilling programme:
PSC Area B: Tevét-2 Appraisal / Exploration Well
Progress and Current Status:
The Tevét-2 well has been drilled to a depth of 2,785 metres by the ‘Stena Tay’ drilling rig.
Wireline logs, including fluid sampling and downhole pressure measurements, have been
acquired over the Miocene appraisal objective, where oil and gas was discovered in the Tevét-1
well. A preliminary evaluation of drilling and wireline data has established that the well has
intersected a gross gas interval of approximately 1.5 metres above a gross oil interval similar to
Tevet-1, of approximately 37 metres. Further studies including integration of these results, plus
reservoir quality and fluid contact data, will be required to determine future plans for the Tevét
field.
The Tevét-2 well is located 2.5 kilometres to the south of the discovery well Tevét-1, and lies in
a water depth of 466 metres. The well is a combined appraisal and exploration well; it is
designed to appraise the Tevét Miocene oil discovery and also to target a deeper Cretaceous
exploration prospect. The planned total depth of the well is approximately 3,965 metres.
Chinguetti Development Wells
During the last week two northern fault block Chinguetti production wells have been
successfully flowtested, meaning that all production wells have now flowed oil to surface.
The ‘West Navigator’ drill ship is currently completing the final well preparation and clean-up
work; it is expected to complete these activities in the next week.
