In late August 2019, Badr El Din Petroleum Co (BAPETCO) successfully completed the appraisal well Sitra C03-2 at the Sitra C30-1 discovery, Sitra (Dev) block, Abu Gharadiq Basin.    The well was spudded on 13 July 2019 with the âEDC-71â land rig and reached a TD of 3,100 m in the Albian-Lower Cenomanian Kharita Member of the Burg El Arab Formation.     The Sitra C30-1 discovery was found in July 2019 after the new field wildcat Sitra C30-1 tested oil and gas in the Bahariya Formation (separate article).    BAPETCO, also named Sitra Petroleum or SIPETCO, is a JV between the EGPC, Shell Australia AG and Shell Egypt NV.     The Sitra (Dev) lease was granted to BAPETCO in December 1985. It includes six other fields (Sitra 1-1, Sitra 3, Sitra C18-1 ST, Sitra East C4, Sitra 5 and Sitra 8), all discovered by Shell between 1982 and 2019.
