Sound has More Moroccan Success

Morocco-focused Sound Energy has found gas-bearing sands with its TE-10 exploration well, within and below the currently-mapped TAGI structural closure, it said January 7. This has the potential to de-risk the stratigraphic upside in North East Lakbir in the company's Greater Tendrara licence area. 

Before the drilling it had a pre-drill mid case potential on a gross (100%) basis of 2.7 trillion ft³ gas originally in place and the smaller TAGI structural closure had 128bn ft³ on the same basis. The company also reached total depth with the well and found what might prove to be additional thin bedded net pay. It has brought a gas sample to surface.

The TE-10 well was the second in Sound Energy's three-well exploration programme in the Tendrara area, some 25 km northeast of the recently awarded Tendrara production concession, which contains the TE-5 Horst discovery unlocked by Sound Energy in 2016-17.  It is now studying the results.
