Petroleum Development Oman has started production from a natural gas and condensate discovery it calls Mabrouk North East in its northern concession area.

Five wells drilled to 5,000 m in the field have encountered gas. Test rates have been as high as 1.2 million cu m/day after fracturing of the Cambro-Ordovician Barik and Cambrian Misqrat formations.

PDO estimates recoverable volumes at more than 4 tcf of natural gas and 112 million bbl of condensate.

It said a second well will be brought on production soon. Exploratory drilling continues.

PDO in 2015 acquired 3D wide-azimuth seismic data in the area after its 2013 discovery called Mabrouk Deep, 40 km west of Saih Rawl (OGJ Online, Apr. 3, 2013).
