SDX Energy Inc., London, will complete for production another natural gas discovery on its South Disouq concession in Egypt (OGJ Online, May 22, 2018).
The SD-4X well encountered 89 ft of net gas pay with average porosity of 24% in the Upper Miocene Abu Madi formation. The reservoir quality is like that of the SD-1X discovery in a thicker pay section.
The well will be tested after being completed as a producer. The rig then will drill the SD-3X well, the second of two appraisal wells planned this year.
SDX operates the South Disouq concession with a 55% interest. IPR Energy Resources Ltd., Irving, Tex., holds 45%.
