Production performance from the well has been in line with expectations and is currently stabilised at approximately 5000 – 6000 bpd of oil.
The DHBSM-1H well was drilled as a horizontal well from the BW MaBoMo production facility to a total depth of 5960 m into Gamba sandstone reservoir. The well is located approximately 5 km southwest of the MaBoMo in a separate accumulation with a deeper oil-water contact than the nearby Hibiscus Field. Following completion, the Borr Norve jackup has commenced drilling operations on the Ruche sidetrack well (DRM-3H ST1).
“We are very pleased with the safe and efficient execution of Hibiscus South fast-track development within a few months after making the initial discovery,” said Carl K. Arnet CEO of BW Energy. “This represents a material, low-cost and low-risk expansion of the Dussafu production and reserve base, demonstrating how our phased development strategy provides the flexibility to rapidly unlock significant value.”
The DHBSM-1H well is expected to recover 6.6 mmbbls from approximately 22 mmbbls oil in place, based on third party 2P estimates.
