San Leon Spuds Rawicz-15 Development Well
San Leon Energy, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas exploration in Europe and North Africa, announces the spud of the Rawicz-15 well. The Rawicz-15 development well on the 742 km2 Rawicz Concession in Poland’s southern Permian Basin, was spud on 18th November 2015 using a rig from Poland’s Exalo Drilling. The well, which is operated and funded by Palomar Natural Resources (“PNR”), is expected to take 35 days to reach a total depth of around 1,600 meters, and will be followed by completion and a full well testing programme.
San Leon Spuds Morocco Well
San Leon Energy, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas exploration in Europe and North Africa, announces that the El Aaiun-4 well on the Tarfaya conventional licence, onshore Morocco, was spud today. The well is being drilled with Entrepose Drilling's Cabot 750 rig and is expected to take approximately 30 days to reach total depth (TD) of around 2000 metres below rotary table. The reservoir target is Tertiary channel sandstones, and the surface location is approximately 14 Km from a gas market (El Marsa OCP phosphate processing plant, near Foum el-Oued).
Managing Earthquake Risks in O&G Production
Underground disposal of waste water produced from oil and natural gas wells has been blamed for triggering thousands of small earthquakes in Oklahoma and a number of other U.S. states since 2009. Heightened seismic activity corresponds closely with the timeframe and location of increased drilling and hydraulic fracturing across the southwest United States, according to the U.S. Geological Survey ("Incorporating induced seismicity in the 2014 United States national seismic hazard model", 2015).
San Leon Energy Operations Update
San Leon Energy plc the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas exploration in Europe and North Africa, provides an operational update across a number of its assets. The second well in the 3-well programme, Gierałtowice on the Bielsko-Biała concession in Karpaty, has now been completed and tested and is being plugged and abandoned. All planned targets were penetrated. Low gas rates were achieved but the thick sandstone primary target reservoir did not have a sufficient seal…
Rawicz-12 Well Spuds
San Leon Energy, the AIM listed company focused on oil and gas exploration in Europe and North Africa, announces the spud of the Rawicz-12 appraisal well yesterday on the 742 km2 Rawicz Concession in Poland’s southern Permian Basin. The well, which is operated by Palomar Natural Resources (“PNR”), is targeting the previously-discovered Rawicz gas accumulation in the Permian Rotliegendes sandstones. The well is estimated to take 45 days to reach a total depth of 1,900 meters and is being drilled by Poland’s Exalo Drilling.
Emerson Enhances Reservoir Engineering Software
Emerson Process Management has launched Roxar Tempest˙ 7.1, the latest version of its integrated reservoir engineering software suite. The new software comes with major enhancements to its uncertainty management and reservoir prediction features within the software module Tempest ENABLE, allowing users to create ensemble-based prediction workflows and better quantify uncertainty in production forecasts. Tempest 7.1 also comes with significant advances to its Tempest MORE reservoir simulator and Tempest VIEW, the pre and post-processing interface for all Tempest modules.
