Chevron Signs Petroleum Deals in Offshore Morocco

  By Saabira Chaudhuri


Chevron Corp. (CVX) has signed petroleum agreements related to three offshore areas in Morocco, a push to expand its footprint in frontier basins.

The oil and gas company has signed the agreements with Morocco's Office National Des Hydrocarbures Et Des Mines which, once awarded, will allow Chevron to acquire seismic data and conduct studies in deepwater areas known as Cap Rhir Deep, Cap Cantin Deep and Cap Walidia Deep located between 60 miles and 120 miles west and northwest of Agadir, Morocco. The areas encompass about 11,300 square miles with average water depths ranging from between 330 feet to 14,700 feet.

"This is an opportunity for Chevron to expand its already strong presence in the region and allows us to acquire further knowledge about promising geology in an emerging area," said Ali Moshiri, president of Chevron Africa and Latin America Exploration and Production Co.

Chevron has a 75% working interest in the three areas, with the Office National Des Hydrocarbures Et Des Mines holding the remaining 25%.

Chevron and other large oil and gas producers have been suffering the impact of a shaky global economy on oil and gas prices. In November, Chevron reported its third-quarter earnings fell 33%, missing expectations as its oil and gas production was disrupted by maintenance, legal issues and storms, and a refinery fire in California caused a sharp drop in fuel sales.

Earlier this month, the second-largest U.S. oil company by market value said it expects its fourth-quarter profit to rise compared with the previous quarter, benefiting from gains on assets and increased U.S. and international production.

Last month, Chevron said its Australian unit made two more natural-gas discoveries in the Exmouth Plateau area of the Carnarvon Basin, a hydrocarbon basin offshore western Australia.

Shares edged down by 55 cents to $114.69 in recent trading. The stock has risen 7.3% in the past 12 months.

la part du gaz naturel est quasi nul. on consomme du GPL/butane (résidentiel-tertiaire), charbon (electricité), gasoil (transport) etc......

pour ce qui est des débits dans les communiqués ils se font à plein robinet, donc la production est beaucoup beaucoup moins que ça

La part du gaz dans la consommation est faible mais la part remontera dans 5 ans a 4 milliards de m3. En ce qui concerne les gisements c'est deja pas mal pour un debut c'est meme encourageant. La pression est moyen dans les 1200 psi

(Agence Ecofin) - Au Maroc, San Leon Energy plc, coté à Londres, poursuit de « façon prudente » ses efforts de développement de sa superficie Timahdit qui regorge d’importantes ressources d’huile de schiste, a indiqué Oisin Fanning, Président exécutif du pétro-gazier, dans une mise à jour opérationnelle le 21 janvier dernier.

Selon la compagnie d’exploration, le bench-testing de l'entreprise estonienne Enefit, en matière d’huile de schiste, a été appliqué avec succès sur les échantillons prélevés à Timahdit et a révélé une importante quantité d’hydrocarbure C5+, dans une proportion de près de 86%.

Environ 10 tonnes d’huile de schiste ont été traitées et les différents échantillons ont été broyés et traités dans conditions différentes, apprend-on. Le pétro-gazier basé à Dublin indique que, d’après Enefit, qui a développé une technologie de production du pétrole et du gaz à partir de l’huile de schiste, il s’agit des résultats « positifs ».

« L’adéquation du procédé d’Enefit à notre huile de schiste est très encourageante et constitue l’épine dorsale de l’actualisation de l’étude de préfaisabilité qui aidera à fournir un modèle financier optimisé pour attirer les investissements de mise en valeur », a commenté Oisin Fanning.

Outre la licence Timahdit couvrant 36 km2, San Leon Energy plc détient des intérêts dans les licences offshores Foum Draa et Sidi Moussa au Maroc, dont 60% d’intérêt dans le puits d’exploration SM-1 sur le bloc Sidi Moussa.

Gas Discovery at DOB-1 Exploration Well, Morocco
Monday, Feb 23, 2015
London, 23rd February, 2015: Gulfsands Petroleum plc ("Gulfsands", the "Group" or the "Company" - AIM: GPX), the oil and gas production, exploration and development company with activities in Syria, Morocco, Tunisia and Colombia is pleased to provide the following update on drilling activities in Morocco.

Morocco: Rharb Drilling Programme

Drilling operations on the Douar Ouled Balkhair 1 gas exploration well ("DOB-1") located within the Rharb Centre Permit in Northern Morocco have now concluded with the DOB-1 well being confirmed as a gas discovery. During testing of this discovery, gas flowed to surface during the well's clean up flow period at rates in excess of 10 million standard cubic feet per day ("mmscfpd). DOB-1 has now been suspended as a future gas production well.

The DOB-1 well is the third well to be drilled on the Rharb Centre permit based on the Company's interpretation of 3D seismic survey data acquired by Gulfsands on the permit area in the second half of 2013. The first two wells to be drilled on this permit were also successful in finding gas and flowing it to surface, at wells LTU-1 and DRC-1.

The DOB-1 well was drilled to a Total Depth ("TD") of 1140 metres Measured Depth ("MD") and encountered the primary reservoir target interval on prognosis at a depth of approximately 808 metres MD. Significantly elevated gas readings obtained while drilling, as well as interpretation of geological samples and wire line logs, indicated the presence of a gas bearing sandstone reservoir section of excellent quality. Detailed petrophysical evaluation of wireline logs over the primary target yielded an interpretation indicating a 4.2 metres gross sand thickness, with a net sand thickness of 3.7 metres and evaluated average gas saturation of 70% and average porosity of 34%.

The DOB-1 well was cemented and perforated over the primary reservoir interval, completed and then subjected to a flow testing and pressure survey period for evaluation of well flow performance and connected gas volumes. During initial clean up flow operations over this reservoir, the well produced natural gas at an estimated rate in excess of 10 million standard cubic feet per day ("mmscfpd") on a 48/64th inch choke setting. During subsequent multi-rate flow testing, a stable flow of 6.2 mmscfpd was established for a period of 4 hours on a 32/64th inch choke setting, with a final wellhead flowing pressure of 1084 psi. No formation water was detected in the gas production stream during testing operations.

The secondary reservoir target interval for the well was encountered at a depth of approximately 1075 metres MD. Significantly elevated gas readings were encountered over the interval 1075-1127 metres MD. However, after the completion of wire line logging operations, mechanical problems with well bore integrity above this interval prevented further access to or production testing of this deeper potential reservoir. The Company is currently reviewing all available data in order to determine the optimal path for further exploration of this reservoir section, which may include a re-deepening of this well at a later date post production of the shallower gas zone, potentially employing in this future operation a modified and strengthened well design.

Drilling and well testing operations for DOB-1 were completed on plan and on budget. Upon completion of operations the Company plans to suspend drilling operations whilst a detailed technical assessment is conducted over the DOB-1 and DRC-1 gas discoveries that will include the identification of potential locations for further drilling in the near vicinity of these discoveries.

Mahdi Sajjad, the Company's CEO commented:

"We are delighted with the results of the drilling and flow testing operations at well DOB-1. This is the third consecutive successful exploration drilling result that the Company has achieved in Morocco utilising the 3D seismic data acquired and processed in 2013-2014.

We are continuing with our efforts to commence production from these discoveries and are receiving much appreciated assistance from ONHYM to ensure this is achieved as soon as possible".

This release has been approved by Ian Conway, Gulfsands Executive Director Technical and Operations, who has Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Physics and has 28 years of experience in petroleum exploration and management. Mr. Conway has consented to the inclusion of the technical information in this release in the form and context in which it appears.

20 Février 2015: Petite découverte de gaz sur le forage DOB-1 (douar oulad balkhair) «Permis Rharb centre et sud»

ONHYM et son partenaire la société Gulfsands annoncent les résultats du forage du puits d’exploration DOB-1 (douar oulad balkhair) sur les permis de recherche ’’ Rharb centre et sud’’ situés dans le Bassin du Gharb, au Sud -Est de Sidi Allal Tazi (voir carte ci-dessous).

Lors des opérations de forage effectuées par la société Gulfsands sur le puits (DOB -1), arrêté à une profondeur de 1127 mètres, du gaz a été rencontré dans un intervalle d’une épaisseur de 3.7 mètres. Ce niveau a été confirmé par l’analyse diagraphique.

Durant les tests de ce puits, un débit stable de 6.2 mmscfpd (175 500 métre cube par jour) a été établi pendant 4 heures sur une vanne de 32/64 pouce. Le puits a été maintenant équipé pour une future production.

C'est en pied cube il faut multiplié par 0.028 pour trouver en metre cube. 10 000 000*0.028 = 280 000m3 par jour sois 100 000 000 de metre cube par ans environ ça fait quand même pas mal de gisement de cette taille que l'on trouve dans le gharb. Je pense que l'onhym ne veut pas trop en dire et parle de petit gisement. Pour ne pas repeter l'erreur de talsint. dans les 30 jour a venir on aura les resultat concernant le forage au large de boujdour je pense que c'est le forage le plus important pour cette année au Maroc inchallah Khir.

ce sont juste de minables poches de gaz biogénique ...

Kosmos Energy to plug and abandon CB-1 well after non-commercial gas discovery
Monday, March 2, 2015

The well penetrated approximately 14 meters of net gas and condensate pay in clastic reservoirs over a gross hydrocarbon bearing interval of approximately 500 meters.

Kosmos Energy (NYSE: KOS) announced today that the CB-1 exploration well located in the Cap Boujdour permit area offshore Western Sahara encountered hydrocarbons. The well penetrated approximately 14 meters of net gas and condensate pay in clastic reservoirs over a gross hydrocarbon bearing interval of approximately 500 meters. The discovery is non-commercial, and the well will be plugged and abandoned.

Andrew G. Inglis, chairman and chief executive officer, said: 'The CB-1 exploration well was designed to open the frontier Laâyoune Basin by testing the Al Khayr Prospect. While not a commercial find, this first well in the basin has significantly de-risked further exploration by demonstrating a working petroleum system, including the presence of a hydrocarbon charge, as well as effective trap and seal. The well results confirm the substantial exploration potential of our 22,000 square kilometer Cap Boujdour block, which includes a diverse range of independent plays and fairways with multiple prospects. Going forward, the key exploration challenge is finding reservoirs of commercial size and quality. We will analyze the information gathered from CB-1 and integrate it with the additional 3D seismic data we recently acquired to refine our exploration plan, including deciding on the location and timing of a potential second well. The Atwood Achiever drillship will now proceed to Mauritania as planned to test the Tortue Prospect.'

Located approximately 170 kilometers offshore in 2,135 meters of water, the CB-1 well was drilled on plan to a total depth of 5,700 meters at a net cost to Kosmos of approximately $85 million. Kosmos has held rights to conduct exploration activities in the Cap Boujdour permit area since 2006 under a petroleum agreement with the Government of Morocco's Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM). Kosmos operates the Cap Boujdour license with 55 percent equity and is joined by its partners ONHYM (25 percent) and Capricorn Exploration and Development Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cairn Energy PLC (20 percent).

Le polisario suivait de très pres ce forage .. http://www.wsrw.org/

Sue la chaine algerienne aussi y'avait des manif a tindouf contre le forage de kosmos.

Mince !!! J'attender beaucoup de ce gisement. La c'est une grosse deception...

Espérons trouver du petrole hors sahara pour le moment... D'autre forage auront lieu en off shore au large du d'essaouira inchAllah.

Pas a ce point Juba ... Sinon on pourrait faire le meme raisonnement pour les phosphates, argent, nickel, ...
Disons que j'espere qu'on trouvera suffisament de petrole et gaz pour repondre a notre propre consommation sans forcement devenir exportateur.
