Jura Flows Gas from Pakistan Well
Canada-listed but Pakistan-focused Jura Energy February 25 announced that the exploration well, Umair-1, in the Guddu block in Pakistan’s Sindh, has been drilled to the total depth of 790 metres, to target Pirkoh and Habib Rahi limestone formations.
During a short duration pre-stimulation test on a 36/64-inch choke, the well flowed commingled gas from Pirkoh and Habib Rahi limestone formations at an average rate of 2.47mn ft3/d, the company said. The well will be completed as a gas producer in the Pirkoh and Habib Rahi limestone formations.
Anticipated future production from the Umair-1 gas discovery in Guddu block is expected to be entitled to a gas price of $4.45/mn Btu, based on the transport and freight crude oil price of $65/b, under the Pakistan Petroleum (Exploration & Production) Policy, 2012.
Jura holds a 13.5% pre-commerciality (10.66% post-commerciality) working interest in the Guddu block, which is operated by Oil & Gas Development.
