HOUSTON, Oct. 31 -- Germany's RWE Dea AG made an oil discovery with its A1-NC 193 well drilled in Libya's Sirte basin 500 km southeast of Tripoli.
The well, drilled to 4,214 ft with the Arab Drilling & Workover Co. Adwoc Rig 2, intersected the Paleocene Dahra formation and, on test, flowed 35° gravity oil at 410 b/d through a 32/64-in. choke.
The A1-NC-193 well is the first in a 10-well minimum drilling campaign in six RWE Dea licenses—NC 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, and 198. The drilling program, which will use as many as three drilling rigs, follows a comprehensive seismic acquisition campaign in which 3,200 line-km of 2D and 2,400 sq km of 3D data were acquired in the identified licenses.
The rig is being moved to drill the next location—B1-NC 193.
