What are the results from the MOU-5 drill
From my AI source:
Predator Oil & Gas recently completed drilling the MOU-5 well in the Guercif Licence onshore Morocco, revealing several promising results:
The Domerian carbonate primary target was successfully penetrated, supporting the pre-drill play concept.
The top of the Domerian carbonate was encountered significantly deeper than expected due to mobilized salt above, potentially improving the topseal effectiveness.
Good quality resistivity was observed over the top 50 meters of the Domerian carbonate, which is currently under petrophysical and petrographic review.
The well is located approximately 100 meters below the crest of the Domerian carbonate bank culmination to the northwest.
A 1557 ppm helium show was detected 16 meters above the primary target, correlated with a flat-lying fault linked to salt diapiric activity.
Unexpectedly, the well encountered about 30 meters of high-quality gross sand below the Domerian, a feature previously unseen in the Guercif Basin.
The MOU-5 well was drilled and logged within the pre-drill budget forecast in 10 days.
The well has been suspended to allow for future re-entry, and the drilling rig remains stacked at the location.
These results have opened up new exploration potential in the area, including a possible new Jurassic play trend. Predator Oil & Gas plans to analyze the data and incorporate it into a new "Jurassic Project" focusing on the core area of the Domerian structure northwest of MOU-5. The company also intends to initiate a farmout process for 3D seismic acquisition to better characterize the carbonate reservoir in the area.
