Greater Tendrara – two Triassic TAGI1 discoveries

License Details


Area

14,411 km2


Status

Petroleum Agreement: Exploration


Effective date

01 October 2018


Term

8 years


Resource Potential

Exploration potential in the Triassic TAGI reservoir of 7.97 Tcf gross/5.98 Tcf net (mid-case un-risked GIIP) identified in sub-salt concepts, leads and prospects


Interests

Operator with an effective interest of 75%

ONHYM holds the remaining 25% interest

Permit Area

Surrounds the Tendrara Production Concession.

Located for access to Gazoduc Maghreb Europe ("GME") pipeline approximately 120 kilometers to the north. The 522 kilometres long Moroccan section is owned by the Moroccan State and operated by Metragaz. The pipeline connects Morocco to the Spanish/Portuguese gas grids.

Geology

Only eight wells drilled across the entire area, all encountered evidence of a petroleum system.

Two Triassic TAGI gas discoveries:

  • SBK-1 tested by the previous licence holder at a peak rate of 4.41 mmscf/d in July 2000
  • TE-10 flowed gas at non-commercial rates

Future Developments

Number of targets available for near term drilling.

All work commitments completed for the current period. The next voluntary period commences mid-September 2022 with one well commitment to be drilled before September 2024.

1Trias Argilo-Gréseux Inférieur (‘TAGI') are sandstones deposited in a fluvial-alluvial environment and are significant oil and gas reservoirs across Algeria, extending into Morocco.
