Victoria Oil & Gas PLC, London, has placed the Logbaba Well La-107 in Cameroon on production after it was flow tested to a maximum rate of 54 MMcfd of gas on a 70/64-in. choke, with a stabilized flowing wellhead pressure of 2,951 psig.
The well, located at Victoria’s Logbaba gas production site in the industrial port city of Douala, was drilled to a target depth of 3,180 m, the base of the Logbaba Formation, encountering 58 m of net gas bearing sands in the Upper and Lower Logbaba Formations.
The multirate test results indicate the well has an absolute open flow potential of 146 MMcfd, which the company says is better than expected as the La-105 had an initial absolute open flow potential of 89 MMcfd.
After conducting clean up and flow testing operations, the well was connected to the Logbaba gas processing plant where gas first flowed for sales on Sept. 22.
The rig was released from La-107 on Sept. 3 and skidded to Well La-108 to resume drilling. Following procedures to reenter the well, sidetrack operations commenced on La-108 on Sept. 10.
The sidetrack is slated to redrill the 8½-in. hole section that was previously lost, where more than 100 m of net gas-bearing sands were encountered at intervals between the top of the Logbaba Formation at 2,107 m MD and 2,760 m MD.
