Apex International Energy on Monday reported a new oil discovery in the Southeast Meleiha Concession (SEM) in Egypt’s Western Desert.
The SEMZ-11X discovery well – located 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) west of the Zarif field – reached a total depth of 5,700 feet (1,737 meters) and encountered 65 feet (20 meters) of oil pay in the Cretaceous sandstones of the Bahagia and Abu Roash G formations, Apex noted in a written statement emailed to Rigzone.
“Testing of the Bahariya resulted in a peak rate of 2,100 barrels of oil per day with no water,” Apex stated. “Additional uphole pay exists in the Bahariya and Abu Roash G formations that can be added to the production stream in the future.”
