COMMENCEMENT OF PRODUCTION AT SOUTH DISOUQ CONCESSION IN EGYPT
SDX Energy Plc (AIM: SDX), the MENA-focused oil and gas company, is pleased to announce the commencement of production from its operated South Disouq concession (SDX: 55% working interest) in Egypt.
Gas has been flowing through the South Disouq Central Processing Facility ("CPF") since 7th November 2019. Each of the four discovery wells have been hooked up to the CPF and tested during this period and have produced at their expected rates of between 8 MMscf/d and 15 MMscf/d.
Over the last three days, the CPF has been operating as expected, achieving an average gross production rate of 23 MMscf/d of gas and 120 bbls/d of condensate, equivalent to approximately 24 MMscfe/d. These initial flow rates are in line with the Company's expectations and testing will continue over the coming weeks, during which time the Company will gradually ramp up production with a view to achieving its targeted plateau gross production rate of 50 MMscfe/d during Q1 2020.
All gas production will be sold to the Egyptian national gas company, EGAS, at a fixed price of US$2.85/Mcf, with the Government of Egypt's entitlement share of gross production equating to approximately 51%.
