SDX Energy Plc (SDX) reported on 28 January the discovery of commercial quantities of gas in the Ouled Youssef 2 (OYF 2) well, drilled onshore in Gharb Centre block, Rharb - Prerif Basin. OYF 2 reached a total measured depth (TMD) of 1,210 m and encountered gas in the Upper and Lower Guebbas reservoirs which resulted to be of better quality than pre-drill expectations.   SDX has reported combined recoverable reserves of approximately 1.3 to 1.9 Bscfg in both horizons, to be tested in February.   The discovery of more than expected gas reserves in the OYF field represents a considerable landmark in SDX's strategy for the following reasons:    SDX's planned core productive area is now extended up to the north       The find has de-risked further 0.5 to 1.0 Bscfg prospective resources in the western compartment of the Lower Guebbas target     OYF 2 will be tied to SDXs infrastructure at the cost of approximately USD 2 million, according to the firm.
