Shahd shows off more oil



By Upstream staff 

Chile's state oil company Enap has flowed up to 600 barrels of oil per day during a second drill stem test at the Shahd-1 discovery in the East Ras Qattara sector of Egypt's Eastern Desert.

The test in Upper Bahariya formation resulted in flows of between 360 bpd to 600 bpd.

Enap said this confirms the deliverability of the pay zone in the formation and follows up the flow of between 700 bpd and 1000 bpd of oil from the Lower Bahariya formation.

Shahd-1 has since been suspended as a future oil producer and the rig released.

The well is first of two back-to-back wells in the block.

Partners in the concession are Enap subsidiary Sipetrol (50.5%) and Oil Search (49.5%).
