LONDON, Aug. 10 -- Centurion Petroleum Corp., the upstream division of Dana Gas PJSC, made a gas-condensate discovery with its Dabayaa-1 well on the West Manzala exploration concession in Egypt.
On test, the well flowed 16.5 MMcfd of gas and 330 b/d of condensate through a 32/64-in. choke. Centurion drilled the well to a TD of 3,001 m and encountered a hydrocarbon-bearing interval that extended over a 10-sq-km area.
The well is 6 km from existing facilities. Centurion expects to finalize the new field's development plan so as to bring the well on production, possibly by November.
Centurion has plans to drill a total 12 exploration wells in Egypt before yearend.
