Sound Energy PLC (LON:SOU) has kicked off a new programme at the Sidi Moktar project in Morocco, where it is re-entering the Koba-1 well.
The plan is to re-enter the well to perforate and test Lower Liassic reservoir, as well as possibly the Argovian, Sound explained.
It is anticipated to be a ten-day work programme, and it will be followed by a similar programme for Sidi Moktar’s Kamar-1 well.
Sound Energy highlighted that the Sidi Moktar area, which spans 2,700 square kilometres, is located close to infrastructure and gas demand, including a large scale phosphate plant which is owned by the Moroccan state.
Badile – Italy exploration
Sound Energy also noted that drilling operations for the Badile exploration well, near Milan in Italy, is now nearing the final stages.
The well has now reached a measured depth of 4,328 metres, and drilling is ongoing towards the targeted reservoir which is expected to be penetrated later this month.
