Israeli gas drilling
June 20 (LNGJ) - Energean plc, the UK-listed company targeting 110 billion cubic metres of natural gas in a high-impact drilling programme offshore Israel, has provided an update on the initial results of the Karish gas field KM-04 appraisal well. “Operations at the KM-04 appraisal well have been successfully completed ahead of schedule and below budget, meeting the primary objectives set pre-drill,” said Energean.
“The KM-04 appraisal well achieved the following: Gas and associated liquids were encountered in the previously undrilled fault block between Karish Main and Karish North and gas was encountered in the A-sands on the flanks of the Karish Main structure. These sands were tested and fluid samples obtained. An oil rim was confirmed in the central part of the field,” it added.
