By January 2020, SDX Energy had successfully completed its Sidi Al Harati 3 (SAH 3) appraisal/development well as a gas producer. The well, located on the Sebou Central exploration permit, reached 1,129m TD encountering 5.5m net pay in two gas sand intervals. An estimated ~0.5 Bcfg of recoverable resources have been found, with the well anticipated to be brought onstream in late 2020. The well formed part of a four-well appraisal/development campaign (SAH 3, 4, 5 & 6) across the company's Rharb Occidental (Gharb Centre) and Sebou Central exploration permits. The campaign commenced on 25 October 2019, with operations carried out by the Star Valley Drilling #101 rig. The wells were understood to have been appraising/developing the 1985 SAH 1 discovery, drilled by Petrofina. It reached 1,499m TD, encountering gas in the Miocene. In March 2018, SDX completed its SAH 2 (1,304 m TD) assumed appraisal/development well. It encountered 5.2m of net gas pay in two intervals in the Miocene Guebbas and Hoot formations, testing at an average rate of 12.9 MMcfg/d and a maximum rate of 13.5 MMcfg/d, on a 40/64â choke.SAH 3 formed part of a larger 12-well campaign slated across SDX's onshore Gharb Basin acreage. To date, 10 wells have been drilled, with the remaining two deferred to preserve capital. Multiple leads and prospects in the Miocene across the companyâs blocks have also been identified. SDX entered the country in January 2017, through the US$ 30 million acquisition of Circle Oilâs Moroccan assets. The company operates Rharb Occidental and Sebou Central with 75% equity, in partnership with ONHYM (25%, carried).
