The company seeks to drill three more wells in the remaining months of the current season, based on its technical plan developed after the pandemic.
The permit is adjacent to the producing Sebou permit and future discoveries will be tied into the existing gas sales line to the Kenitra industrial zone, according to the company.
“The exploration well “SAK-1” is part of the drilling project for the year 2022 with the aim of accessing gas reserves in the western region,” stresses Mark Reed, CEO of the oil company, adding that “this well will open a new exploration area.”
“We thank the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Minerals for their constant assistance, in order to enable the company to meet all the technical and practical conditions related to drilling operations,” expressed the same source.
SDX holds a 75% operational stake across the Moroccan portfolio. It includes exploration licenses in Sebou Central, Gharb Occidental, Moulay Bouchta West, and Lalla Mimouna South.
