In September 2017, Dara Petroleum (Petrodara) P&A dry the North West Gharib 3A 1 ST 1 (NWG 3A 1 ST 1) appraisal well, after failing to encounter hydrocarbons in the objective Miocene Nukhul Red Beds. The well was drilled in Q3 2017, on the North West Gharib 1 development lease of the North West Gharib PSC, in the western onshore Gulf of Suez. Operations were carried out using an Egyptian Drilling Company rig. NWG 3A 1 ST 1 was an updip geological sidetrack to the NWG 3A 1 appraisal well, drilled June-July 2017. It reached a TD of 1,569m, but failed to encounter hydrocarbons. NWG 3A 1 was an appraisal of the 2014 NWG 3X NPW discovery (TD 1,634m) and was drilled 500m down-dip of the discovery. NWG 3X was brought onstream via an early production facility in late December 2016, with initial production hitting ~1,000 bo/d. Petrodara is a JV between TransGlobe Energy and EGPC.
