Semi-submersible drilling rig Pride Venezuela will drill, test and complete a production and an injection well on a back-to-back basis during an estimated 100-day programme.
The Oudna-1 well discovert well, drilled by Shell, tested 7000 barrels of oil per day of 41 degree-API crude oil at a depth of 1600 metres from the Miocene Lower Birsa sands reservoir. Proven and probable reserves are pegged at 11.5 million barrels.
The 600,000-barrel capacity Ikdam FPSO, currently working on the Isis field, will be released for upgrade and re-classification works when Isis is shut-in in the second quarter and then re-deployed on the Oudna field, where production is scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of this year.
Initial gross production from the Oudna field is anticipated at around 20,000 bpd.
Lundin and Atlantis Holding Norway each hold 50% stakes in the Oudna field. Tunisian state company ETAP has a 20% option that may be exercised up to 120 days from the start of production.
