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.

Sound Energy commences drilling at Tendrara

 
Sound Energy, the European / Mediterranean focused upstream oil and gas company, is pleased to confirm the commencement of drilling of the first well at Tendrara, onshore Morocco.

With the rig-up completed on 15 April, the well was spud on 20 April 2016. Drilling is expected to reach a total measured depth of 2640 metres with the drilling programme anticipated to include coring, logging, completion and testing.

The Company looks forward to updating shareholders on the achievement of each of the three casing points and achievement of TD. The final results of the well will be announced after the end of drilling and testing operations, approximately 80 days after the spud day.

James Parsons, Chief Executive, commented:

'I am pleased to report that drilling of our first well in Morocco has now commenced. This well is a significant milestone for our Company and we expect it to both unlock Eastern Morocco's regional gas play and significantly broaden Sound Energy's resource base.'

ENI s'installe au Maroc, elle cible un lot offshore à 30km de rabat

Citation :

Eni s’installe au Maroc
La société énergétique italienne a trouvé un accord pour explorer aux larges de Rabat, une zone non-encore exploitée par le détenteur du permis, Chariot Oil & Gas.

Eni ne prend pas le contrôle du site mais prend une participation à hauteur de 40% dans le permis d’exploration « offshore I-VI » à trente kilomètres des côtes de Rabat. Ce site n’a pas encore fait l’objet d’exploration mais les co-détenteurs du permis espèrent bien y trouver « de potentiels gisements en hydrocarbures » selon le communiqué officiel.

Un type d’accord avec le vent en poupe

En effet, c’est la troisième fois en l’espace de quelques semaines que ce type d’accord est conclu. Ainsi, Chevron et PetroMaroc ont annoncé préalablement, avoir céder une partie de licence à des opérateurs tiers.

Néanmoins l’accord n’est pas encore pleinement mis en oeuvre. Selon la législation marocaine, il doit encore recevoir l’aval des autorités du pays mais aussi et surtout, sur le plan économique, celui des autres partenaires de la licence d’exploration. L’Office national des hydrocarbures et des mines (ONHYM) et Woodside devront ainsi se prononcer prochainement sur cette opération qui redistribuera les cartes. La participation de Chariot Oil & Gas sera ramenée à 10%, alors que celle de l’Office national des hydrocarbures et des mines et de Woodside, toutes deux de 25% ne devraient pas varier.

L’accord des autorités publiques devraient être une formalité tant le pays cherche à relancer l’exploration. En effet, plusieurs dizaines de sociétés pétrolières étrangères sont installées au Maroc et ont dépensé plus de 600 millions d’euros en dépenses d’exploration en 2014.

Eni prend le contrepied de Total

Le géant italien prend donc le contrepied complet de Total qui a acté son retrait de l’exploration au Maroc à la fin de l’année dernière. Pour le groupe, « cet accord va permettre à ENI d'étendre sa présence dans la marge Atlantique dans une région importante de l'Afrique du nord conformément à la stratégie du groupe de diversifier son portefeuille d'activité à haut potentiel de découverte d'hydrocarbures ».

L’Italien a réalisé un résultat opérationnel estimé à 4,1 milliards d’euros et voit de beaux jours se profiler devant lui depuis sa découverte en Egypte d’un gisement, certainement le plus important mis au jour actuellement, de gaz naturel. Gageons que les autorités marocaines espèrent un succès aussi significatif sur leurs terres.

Sound Energy a terminé le forage d'exploration du puits TE6 du permis de tendrara après avoir atteint la profondeur cible de 2 665 m. ce forage a mis en évidence des traces intéressantes de gaz dans un réservoir de 89 m d'épaisseur. Les test de ce puits vont démarrer parallèlement au forage d'un autre puits TE7.

Sound Energy, the European / Mediterranean focused upstream gas company, is pleased to announce that the first Tendrara well has now been drilled to total depth ('TD') at a measured vertical depth of 2,665 metres. The 4 1/2' tubing is now being set in preparation for testing the well.

The Company has identified the TAGI reservoir starting at a depth of 2,535 metres MVD, some 12 metres structurally higher than that identified in the previous TE5 well. The Company therefore believes it has successfully drilled the top of the structure, confirming the geological depositional continuity of the TAGI sandstones within the area.

The Company identified significant gas shows whilst drilling the reservoir and the full set of acquired logs will be now processed. The Company confirms that a total gross pay of 89 metres has been identified.

The rig will now de-mobilise from the TE6 location and move to the already prepared TE7 site on stand-by. Immediately after de-mobilisation, the Company will proceed with the planned rigless operations to mechanically stimulate the reservoir followed by a well test.

Oil & Gas Investment Fund ('OGIF') partenaire de Sound Energy dans le permis de recherche de Tendrara serait intéressée par la construction d'un gazoduc reliant le gisement de Tendrara au gazoduc Maghreb Europe par lequel transite le gaz algérien vers l'Espagne, pour un coût estimé de 50 millions $. Ceci prouve que les découvertes de Tendrara sont importantes et commercialement intéressantes pour justifier un tel investissement.

Sound Energy confirme une découverte intéressante de gaz dans le permis de Tendrara et les résultats des tests en cours seront communiqués dans le courant du mois.

Sound Energy, the European / Mediterranean focused upstream gas company is pleased to provide the following update in relation to the Company's Tendrara licence area, onshore Morocco.

As announced by the Company on 6 June 2016, the first Tendrara well (TE-6) was drilled to a measured vertical depth of 2,665 metres and encountered approximately 28 metres of net gas pay in the TAGI reservoir.

The Company confirms that rigless operations continue and that the results are already significantly above Company expectations as a significant stable flow has already been achieved, despite only having accessed so far 18% of the total reservoir and no stimulation having yet been performed.

After completing the initial perforation of 5 metres of the 28 metres of net pay (between 2,601 and 2,606 metres) the well achieved a stable flow rate of 1.36 MMscf/d with a choke of 16/64'.

The Company will now complete the remainder of the rigless operation, after which the results will be announced. The results are expected later this month.

James Parsons, Sound Energy's Chief Executive Officer, commented:

'I am absolutely delighted to report what appears to be an early and potentially very material success at the first of our three Strategic Plays.

We eagerly await the post stimulation flow rate but I believe the early results of this first well already both prove a material commercial rate at Tendrara and provide significant early clues as to the regional potential of the Eastern Morocco TAGI reservoir.'

Tendrara: Gas Discovery And Potential Single Gas Column

 

Sound Energy, the European / Mediterranean focused upstream gas company, is pleased to confirm a significant gas discovery and a potential single gas column at the Company's Tendrara licence, onshoreMorocco.

 

As previously announced by the Company, the first Tendrara well, TE-6, was drilled to a measured vertical depth of 2,665 metres, encountered the top of the structure and approximately 28 metres of net gas pay in the TAGI reservoir.

 

The Company has now completed operations and is delighted to announce that it has on 7 August 2016 achieved a stabilized gas flow rate, post stimulation, of 17.0 MMscf/d (0.5 million scm/d).  This is significantly above initial expectations and represents a highly commercial rate.

 

The Company is also very pleased to report a reservoir bottom hole pressure of 420 bars and that the static pressure recorded in the well correlates, in terms of gas gradient, with all of the wells previously drilled in the licence area.  The combination of these factors together with the fact that none of the historically drilled wells on the licence have identified a gas/water contact, suggests the possibility of a significant gas column within a continuous extended structure.  This structure may include and extend beyond the reservoir identified at TE-2, some 30km to the North East.  A further well (the Company's third well - TE- will be required at the edge of the potential structure to confirm this and is now being planned for later this year.

 

The Company, together with Schlumberger, is now preparing for the second well at Tendrara (TE-7, located approximately 1.3km from TE-6) using sub-horizontal drilling techniques which are expected to significantly increase the individual well flow rate in a success case.  This will be followed by an extended well test.  The rig-up process at TE-7 is already complete and drilling is expected to commence during August 2016. 

 

TE-6 will be suspended until the results of TE-7 are confirmed, at which point the Company expects to apply for a production concession and commence detailed engineering for construction of the necessary infrastructure, which Oil & Gas Investment Fund (OGIF), one of the Company's  partners, has already indicated an interest in funding, constructing and operating. 

 

The Company has a net effective interest of 27.5% in the Tendrara licence.

 

This announcement is inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation 596/2014.

 

 

James Parsons, Chief Executive Officer of Sound Energy, commented:

 

"I am absolutely delighted to confirm a material commercial gas discovery at Tendrara and a resounding success at the first of our three Strategic Plays.

 

I believe Tendrara, Meridja and the Eastern Morocco TAGI play have the potential to be a material hydrocarbon province on a regional scale and therefore to transform both Sound Energy and the Moroccan gas industry.

 

We shall now, together with Schlumberger, proceed with the second well (TE-7 - due to spud later this month) and a further outpost well (TE-8 - expected to spud in Q4 2016), which will provide further insight on the long term potential

Dan,
l'article parle de 6 milliards de M3 annuel, soit beaucoup plus que 500 000 M3/j. Il doit y avoir une erreur car media24 parle de 17 millions de M3 en lieu et place de pieds/cube
pour mémoire  la centrale thermique à cycle combiné de taddahart  consomme 1 md M3/an

Je pense que c le plus grand gisement hmd découvert au maroc sound energy parle de potentiel régional

Ta pas de puis qui produit 6 milliard de m3 par an il faut dorer plusieur puit pr avoir ce niveau pour convertir pied cube en m3 il faut multiplier pied cube par 0.028

Nota : après conversion
1 pied cube = 0,028 M3, donc 17 000 000 cf = 481 000 M3
en annuel : 175 millions M3
c'est donc pas un "gros gisement"

Merci dan, je doutais également des chiffres de media24 qui me paraissaient énorme,  j'ai donc fait le calcul.
info remontée à media24 pour rectification

infomediaire poursuit avec la meme erreur d'unité :

Gaz : Sound Energy annonce une découverte au Maroc

La compagnie britannique Sound Energy a annoncé une découverte "significative" de gaz au Maroc, dans l'Oriental, au niveau du permis de Tendrara, selon l'agence Reuters qui rapporte l'information ce matin.

La compagnie parle d'une capacité de 17 millions de m3 par jour, soit plus de 6 milliards de m3 par an. A suivre !

Rédaction Infomédiaire

ils ont confondu cf et m3. C'est 17 millions de cf et pas 17 millions de m3 ...

On peut pas produire 6 milliard de m3 pour un seul puit il faut forer plusieur puit la taille du gisement l as pas encore été déterminée il faut à autre forage mais la société parle d un potentiel de plusieurs tcf trilion cubic feet soit des dizaine voir des centaines de milliard de m3
