HOUSTON, Mar. 2 -- DNO ASA, Oslo, has tested oil in the Godah-1 sidetrack on Block 32 in the Masila basin in Yemen.
The well, drilled to a TD of 1,841 m downdip of the original location, encountered a full oil column and flowed at a rate of 1,839 b/d gross with no water and a GOR of 2,412 scf/bbl.
The original Godah-1 exploration well, which confirmed the presence of oil and gas in the Cretaceous Qishn reservoir, was drilled on a separate structure 14 km east of Tasour field, primarily to target the Qishn S1A sandstone.
DNO and partners have agreed to drill the Godah-2 appraisal well farther downflank of the Godah-1 sidetrack to evaluate the areal extent of the oil accumulation and possibly prove the oil-water contact.
Production from the Godah structure can be tied back to Tasour production facilities for processing and transport.
