RE: Gas in Tendara21 Feb 2019 10:11
In a statement issued Monday , February 18 , Sound Energy reiterated its optimism on the gas reserves of its 2nd drilling, the well TE-10, previously estimated at 2.7 trillion cubic feet on average, or 75.6 billion cubic meters .
According to the exploration company, the independent laboratory that performed the analyzes yielded results that exceeded its estimates, but it will be necessary to wait until the end of March, after the tests of flow without stimulation, to quantify the gas pocket that is reachable and therefore marketable.
In light of these promising conclusions, Médias24 has solicited several specialists and the least we can say is that the closer we get to the test verdict, the more cautious we are.
Whether on the side of ONHYM or people working on site, we refuse to speculate and all our interlocutors recommend waiting until the end of March "not to dream people".
"ONHYM is watching the latest TE-10 exploration phase"
Solicited, a source familiar with the case refused to endorse, for the moment, the huge estimates of SE before adding that the accumulation of clues no longer excludes such a discovery.
"You will not get any statement from ONHYM that is instructed not to communicate but despite appearances, there is an excitement that has never existed since the disillusionment of Talsint.
"For a while, we know that the gas field of the TE-10 has a minimum potential of 10 billion cubic meters, but as successive tests, the figures announced by Sound Energy no longer fall into the impossible even if it is necessary to remain very careful until the end of the tests.
"All ONHYM has its eyes fixed on the gas flow test phase without stimulation, that is to say the natural flow rate of the gas.
" It is only after this decisive process that will end at the end of March that things will be clearer and that the office will finally be able to communicate", reveals our source who adds that the final results of the tank TE-10 will encourage other prospecting companies to settle in Morocco.
"Thanks to the TE-10 which contains a significant gas volume and TE-5 which must be connected to the gas pipeline , the attractiveness of the Kingdom for explorers is amplified," concludes our interlocutor.
According to an engineer who closely monitors all the data relating to the TE-10 well, Sound Energy has, for the time being, made a flawless run.
The faultless course does not guarantee a major discovery in March
"Exploration comes down to four phases: geology, geophysics (seismic), drilling and testing.
"Knowing that an investor like Sound Energy does not spend their money without having the assurance of making it profitable, having arrived without major problems at the last stage is a very good sign.
"The accumulation of positive signs shows that we are on the eve of a discovery but we must not speculate because until the end of the process, there is no guarantee that it will be major.
"To quantify the explo
