The Abu Sennan concession is located in the prolific Western Desert region in Egypt. It contains seven operational fields with seventeen producing wells. Current gross production has recently been reported by Rockhopper Egypt at over 5,100 boepd (over 1,100 boepd net).
The directors believe there is significant potential to increase production through an infill drilling programme which is currently in progress. This has already been reported by Rockhopper Egypt to have boosted gross production by over 1,000 boepd since the beginning of the year, compared to average gross production of 3,700 boepd for 2018. Most recently reported (end-2018) working interest 2P reserves are 2.64mmboe (net entitlement 1.12mmboe), although this does not take into account the recent drilling results.
In addition to the seven production concessions, the Abu Sennan concession also contains a large (653km2) exploration area, with a significant prospect and lead inventory. The historic drilling success rate on the concession has been 80%.
