Sonatrach is understood to have abandoned its Sif Fatima Nord 1 (SFN 1) NFW in October 2017. The well, located on the Sif Fatima II exploration licence in the Berkine Basin, was spudded on 27 April 2017. Drilling operations were carried out using the ENTP #139 rig. SFN 1 reached a TD of 4,400m and was targeting the Early Devonian in a prospect lying to the north of the Rhourde Dabdaba Nord Field. The well was the second spudded on the block in 2017. Sonatrach operates Sif Fatima II, which confers exploration rights across the Sif Fatima Field Complex, with 100% equity.
