About to prove up the gas7 Sep 2023 11:00
Testing in Morocco will show the true value of our asset.
I'm very happy to hold and watch as the testing results are made public.
From Predator's website:
Predator has re-evaluated the existing reprocessed 2D seismic database and well data and has identified the Moulouya Prospect as being drill-ready. The Moulouya Prospect covers at least 40 km² and is supported by multiple seismic amplitude anomalies.
An off-set well, GRF-1 drilled in 1972 before the acquisition of the 2003 ONAREP seismic, less than 1.5 kilometres to the south-east of the edge of the seismic amplitude anomaly, had dry gas shows in some high quality Tortonian (Miocene) reservoir sands. The same reservoir sands are exposed at the margin of the Guercif Basin where they are interpreted as deep water turbidites and form thick, stacked multiple sand bodies.
The gas potential of the area is further enhanced by the recognition of TransAtlantic of up to 128 feet of untested gas pay at the base of the Miocene in GRF-1 with average porosities of 20% and average gas saturation of 20%. Two micro-seepage surveys carried out for TransAtlantic by Geo-Microbial Technologies in 2006 and 2007 also identified dry gas around the GRF-1 well in soil samples.
The Directors believe that the Moulouya Prospect therefore represents a low risk proven gas play that is a potentially play-opening, opportunity for shallow gas in multiple, high quality reservoirs at depths in the range 2,000 to 5,000 feet. Significantly the potential for a very large accumulation exists due to the lack of compartmentalisation of the mapped seismic anomaly – unlike the situation in the producing Rharb Basin where the structures are small but with a very high success rate for finding gas.
A very high success rate for finding gas!
I like that last sentence!
