These operations come as a result of Chariot holding an interest rate of 75% and operatorship of Lixus in partnership with the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), which holds an interest of 25%.
Chariot’s Acting CEO, Adonis Pouroulis said in the press release, “I am pleased to announce the completion of our very successful Anchois gas appraisal and exploration campaign, offshore Morocco,” he said, adding, “we have now two confirmed gas discovery wells, we have directly de-risked a material portfolio of prospects on the Lixus license area.”
The General Director of the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), Amina Benkhadra said in the same press release, “My congratulations to Chariot and ONHYM teams for the successful Anchois drilling operations -We look forward to working with Chariot in order to quickly progress the gas development.”
Chariot transitional energy company stated in the previous press release issued on January 10 that the gas discovery at the Anchois-2 well materially exceeded expectations, reaching a total measured depth of 2,512m by the Stena Don drilling platform in 381m of water.
Previously, the preliminary interpretation of the energy company’s available data “confirmed the presence of significant gas accumulations in the Anchois-2 well appraisal and exploration objectives,” said the statement, while “a calculated net gas layer of more than 100 m, compared to the previous year’s gas layer.”
The original discovery well-drilled Anchois-1 has begun in 2009, was efficiently located and the wellhead was inspected, prepared, and successfully coupled with the Stena Don rig confirming its potential viability as a future producer well.
For now, the process based on extensive data from the multiple gas discoveries in the Anchois-2 well, including from a comprehensive sub-surface formation testing program has enabled recovering twelve gas samples across seven gas-bearing reservoirs, which are currently underway to the laboratory for detailed analysis, according to the same source.
