HOUSTON, Sept. 28 -- First Calgary Petroleums Ltd. (FPC), Calgary, reported gas and condensate success at its LEC-1 exploration well on Ledjmet Block 405b in Algeria's Berkine basin.
LEC-1 was logged to 4,437 m, and wireline logs indicated 42 m of net hydrocarbon pay over multiple intervals (OGJ Online, June 7, 2004). Gas and condensate production flowed 20,059 boe/d from two intervals on test�105 MMcfd of gas and 2,602 b/d of condensate�normalized to a flowing wellhead pressure of 2,000 psi. The well is 8.4 km southwest of FPC's MLE field.
"These results confirm the continuation of the prolific Devonian-age rocks to the west of the MLE field onto a previously undrilled structure," said FPC Pres. and CEO Richard Anderson.
