DNO pumps up the volume



By Upstream staff 

Norwegian operator DNO International said today that net production edged up 2% in February compared to January as the outfit pumped up 520,000 barrels or 17,760 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Meanwhile, the operator’s Nabrajah-17 development well in Yemen’s Block 43 confirmed oil in the Qishn reservoir, but entered the section slightly deeper than the prognosis. The well will now be sidetracked and brought on stream as a Qishn producer.

Drilling of the Sharnah-1 exploration well, the second well in Yemen’s Block 47 licence area, kicked off on 28 March. The Sharnah prospect lies 20 kilometres north of the Yaalen-1 well where oil was observed recently and testing is planned to start this month.

The Bayoot SW-4 and Bayoot SW-5 wells in Yemen’s Block 53 have been testing the fractured Basement. The Bayoot SW-4 well confirmed a gross flow potential of about 1500 barrels of oil equivalent per day, while the Bayoot SW-5 confirmed a flow potential of around 2500 bopd.

The total gross well production capacity from the Bayoot area is now about 5000 bopd and DNO expects to drill two addition wells in the area later this year.
