Following unsuccessful tests on the Yamin 1 well during Q4 2019, CC Energy Development SAL (Oman) (CCED) has suspended the near-field exploration well to enable further work in the future if warranted. Located on Block 4 (Ghunaim) in eastern Oman, Yamin 1 exhibited oil shows while drilling, but no oil flowed to surface upon test. The well lies east of the Saiwan East and Erfan fields and was the third of the company's 2019 three-well exploration drilling programme on its Block 3 (Afar) and Block 4 (Ghunaim) acreage. It followed the Yusr 1 and Maather 1 wells.<P />Yamin 1 was spudded in early November 2019 and was designed to test the eastward potential of the Ediacaran Khufai Formation. Operations were concluded in mid-November after the well reached a TD of around 1,560m. CCED operates Blocks 3 and 4 with a 50% interest and is partnered by Tethys Oil Block 3 & 4 Ltd (30%) and Mitsui E&P Middle East BV (20%).
