About 300 million barrels of oil initially in place (OIIP) has now been estimated for the Nilde Field based on additional field data acquired by ADX.
The revised estimates factors in all the available geological, drilling and production data, adding credibility to the potential value of the Nilde Oil Field re-development plan.
ADX is currently reviewing development options along with facility providers of FPSO’s (floating, production, storage and offloading facilities) and MOPU’s (mobile offshore production units).
A drilling and well completion study has been undertaken to develop drilling programs and cost estimates for vertical, high angle or horizontal appraisal wells that can be used as producers.
The company’s primary objective is to secure funding and approvals to drill appraisal wells that can be used as future development wells in 2017.
ADX is engaged with a number of potential farm-in partners and potential purchasers of an interest in the field. A formal farm out process will commence in November 2016.
The company’s share price has increased by 67% during 2016, last trading at $0.005.
