Tullow Oil announce Waraga-1 testing results
04/07/2006 - 10:22:54Hardman Resources, the operator of the Waraga-1 well test in Uganda, in which Tullow Oil Plc is a 50% partner, today announced the completion of testing of the middle of the three zones to be flowed at the location and have now commenced testing of the upper zone.
From the middle perforated interval from 1782 to 1792.5 metres, the well flowed at an average of 2,400 barrels of oil per day (bopd) through a 36/64" choke, according to the company.
Following a shut-in period the well was flowed through a 1" choke at a sustained flow rate of approximately 4,200 bopd. The quality of the oil is the same as tested in the lower zone of the well, being a light (33.8°API), but waxy, crude.
As at midnight on July 3, the third and final interval was perforated from 1680 to 1710 metres. This interval flowed heavier (18.5 °API) oil at a stabilised rate of 2,115 bopd through a 36/64" choke.
The well is currently shut in for pressure build up prior to the final flow period with results expected before the end of the week.
Following the conclusion of testing at Waraga-1, the rig will move to the Mputa area for testing which is expected to commence by late July or early August.
