HOUSTON, Dec. 17 – Oman Resources Ltd., private UK explorer, is pursuing a gas-condensate development program on the 49,821 ha Konya Block 4077 in the Tuz Golu basin of south-central Turkey.
The Gulhanim-2 well has encountered a previously unidentified but encouraging gas zone at 1,275-90 m and should reach the Lower Eocene-Upper Paleocene target by late January 2011. A workover rig is expected to reenter the Karapinar-1 well in mid-December 2010.
Construction is to start shortly on a compressed natural gas bottling plant that will provide an early, commercially attractive solution to monetize gas produced from the block until a 12-km pipeline can be installed.
Early interpretation of 14 lines of the 186 line-km of 2D seismic shot on the southern part of the block are supportive of further leads in the west and indicate possible structural closure to the east, said Niche Group PLC, an investor in Oman Resources.
