Qatar Petroleum (QP) has reported that two appraisal wells drilled on the small Abruk structure in the north-west of the country during 2016 had yielded disappointing results. The wells Abruk 3 and Abruk 4 were believed to have been evaluating Chevronâs 2001 Abruk 2 oil discovery, which has been drilled broadly on trend with an initial well which had been abandoned with oil shows by QPC (60%) and IPC (40%) in 1970. The structure is located on a peninsula of land 5km east of the Dukhan oil field, which is contiguous to Bahrainâs Hawar Island border. Â     EnCana      farmed in to onshore Block 2 which contained the discovery during 2Q 2002.      EnCana acquired a 40% equity stake in the concession and assumed      operatorship, it joined Chevron (30%) and Svenska (30%) as partners in the      acreage. It subsequently became 100% rightholder following the withdrawal      of its partners prior to entering a second exploration period.  EnCana      completed a 500 sq km 3D survey to identify up-dip closure and      stratigraphic pinch-out of the Upper Jurassic, Jubaila grainstone      identified in the Abruk 2 oil discovery within its onshore Block 2      concession during 2005.   A      farm-out flyer prepared by Encana subsequently indicated that the Abruk      structure was filled to spill point and had reserves of 3 MMbo.
