SDX reports another Egyptian gas strike

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%.
