RE: UKOG ARE YOU REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT HSE???!!!!7 Apr 2023 21:51
Lol....don't talk wet....ha ha ha....are you clutching at straws or what ???..... it's a shallow well drilled by Alladin Middle East who have 60 years experience in the industry , focused on many years drilling similar wells in Turkey...and could be trusted transformational for Ukog and its shareholders, like me, if it flow commercially...Exciting times!!! :-)
Further to the analysis of the Q3 2022 Phase 2 Seismic Programme UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce that the Resan JV (UKOG 50% working interest) has identified and plans to drill in Q1 2023, a new potential shallow oil accumulation, Pinarova, of some 9 km(2) areal extent, located 6 km north of the Basur-1 oil discovery. The new Pinarova-1 well is designed to test a working hypothesis, supported by well and seismic data, that the active (41.7°API) light oil seep found last summer in a seismic shot hole (see RNS of 30 June 2022) above the Pinarova structure, is directly fed by and connected to an underlying light oil accumulation within Eocene Hoya group limestones, 300-645m below surface.
The presence of movable oil within Pinarova is indicated by results of the 2018 Kezer-1 shallow geothermal well, located near the apex of the Pinarova geological feature. Kezer-1 reported strong oil shows throughout the Hoya and flowed heavily oil-cut fluids to surface on a short open-hole geothermal test. Kezer-1 was deemed unsuitable for geothermal purposes and abandoned. Both new and legacy seismic data also show a series of vertically stacked seismic amplitude anomalies within the core of Pinarova's Hoya structure, possibly directly indicating hydrocarbons and/or the development of good reservoir within the Hoya.
The Company and its joint partner Aladdin Middle East ("AME") consider Pinarova to offer similar potential success case outcomes to a Basur-4 appraisal well, but at a much lower drilling cost (c. $0.66 million gross versus c. $4.12 million gross) and with a shorter time to execution and delivery.
Pinarova-1 will, therefore, be designed to test if light oil is present in commercially viable saturations and quantities within the Hoya and, if successful, will be completed as a pumped oil production well. If successful, Pinarova-1 would likely be followed by a Pinarova-2 well and/or a Basur-4 appraisal well drilled from a new site west of Basur-1
