Airshagyl deeps:- Upper Devonian/Lower Permian 58sqKm Salt layer typically 3700m – 4000m, Appraisal licence until August 2025 now extended for a further 2 years, 25 year full production licence obtained 2025
A1:- Maps only
A2:- No mention on any maps (Possibly old Soviet era well)
A3:- Maps only
A4:- Maps only
A5:- Spud Jul 2014, Stuck pipe removal partially successful , 63m interval flowed at 3800 Bopd 19mm choke for 15 days Dec 2017, flowed at 1500 Bopd 12mm choke Feb 2019 for 40 days. New sidetrack from 3769m to 4405m required rig now removed Jul 2024, Attempts to remove 400m of stuck pipe have to date not proved successful and a new side track is planned in 2026
A6- Spud Nov 2015 TD 4750m, stopped at 4528m, targeting middle and Lower Carboniferous, From the analysis of wireline logging , gross oil-bearing intervals totalling 127 meters have been identified. These are in two intervals, the first of 72 meters between depths of 4,313 meters and 4,385 meters. The second is of 55 meters between depths of 4,450 and 4,505 meters, A 54m oil bearing interval perforated from a depth of 4450m, perforation needs workover RNS 10/1/2017, Analysis of mud and wireline logs has shown the presence of a hydrocarbon bearing reservoir with a vertical column potentially in excess of 100 meters, In April 2017 the top 60 meters of the 100-meter plus interval were successfully perforated using a different leading international contractor. A chemical treatment at the well is underway 1/12/25 currently seeking to bring well into production RNS 3/12/25
A7- Spud Dec 2021 TD 5300, Carboniferous and Devonian structures, Paused at 2150m (Dec 2022) new TD 4750m 31/10/2023, new TD 5300 16/2/2024 to be continued to 5300m Q1 2024 interval of interest at 4000m, G70 rig required, Subject to rig availability, the first well to be re-worked in 2026 is planned to be Deep Well A7 (RNS Oct 2025)
A8- Spud Nov 2018 TD 5300, Targeting, 3 oil bearing intervals, 52.5 meters is of porous oil-bearing rock from a depth of 4,342 meters. A mixture of oil, gas, water and drilling mud flowed to the surface. With the top of the oil-bearing interval at a depth of 4,346 meters and the bottom of the most recent core sample at a depth of 4,456 meters the oil-bearing interval now extends to 110 meters. The pressure in the well has remained strong throughout the process. RNS 27/11/2019 Following acid treatment the well flowed for approximately seven hours, producing at the rate of approximately 1,500 bopd. The flow ended with the well becoming blocked with excess drilling fluid originally introduced during the drilling phase. RNS Dec 2019 Now abandoned ?
A9 New well planned to find perimeter of Airshagyl TD 5300m targeting Jurassic prospect, As previously announced the next deep well there is expected to be Deep Well A9, which, if successful, would extend the perimeter of the Airshagyl structure.Our intention is to spud Deep Well A9 in the first half of 2020.
