The MJF structure was discovered in 2013 with the drilling of well 143 at the centre of the structure and extends to an area in excess of 10 sq km (approximately seven times greater than Hyde Park in London).
The first three wells at the MJF structure were drilled between 2013 and 2016 comprising Wells 141, 142 and 143.
Well 144 was drilled to a depth of 2,500 meters. The well has tested without artificial stimulation at a typical flow rate of approximately 700 bopd using a 7mm choke and with a peak flow rate of 899 bopd.
Well 145 was also drilled to a depth of 2,750 meters. The well has tested without artificial stimulation at a typical flow rate of 327 bopd with a peak rate of 396 bopd.
Wells 142 and 146 have been more difficult to produce from without the introduction of artificial stimulation. This stems from the high levels of water in the well and signify these wells to be at the outer limits of the MJF structure. It is not yet clear whether well 146 will be capable of production.
Well 142 was drilled to a depth of 2,500 meters and appears to have a base level of production of approximately 150 bopd and the possibility of producing up to 300 bopd. If production at Well 146 is possible we believe it would be at levels between 150 and 300 bopd.
In aggregate the production expected from the six wells drilled on the MJF structure to date is, on a risked basis, in the region of 2,300 bopd.
