TransGlobe Energy Corporation (TSX:TGL) (NASDAQ:TGA) ("TransGlobe"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce a successful Jurassic
gas/condensate test in the Western Desert at North Dabaa 1X. All
dollar values are expressed in United States dollars unless
otherwise stated.
ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT
East Ghazalat Block, Arab Republic of Egypt (50% working
interest, non-operated)
The North Dabaa 1X exploration well was drilled to a total depth
of 14,740 feet and cased as a Cretaceous oil and Jurassic gas
condensate discovery. Based on open hole well logs and samples, the
well encountered approximately 8 feet of net oil pay in the Abu
Roash formation and 23 feet of net gas/condensate pay in the
Khatatba formation.
The Khatatba formation (9,882-9,906 ft) was completed and flow
tested using the drilling rig for a total duration of 72.5 hours.
During this period, approximately 48.9 million cubic feet of gas
("MMcf") and 4,893 barrels ("Bbl") of 56.9 degrees API condensate
were recovered on choke sizes varying from 18/64 inch to 64/64 inch
and corresponding wellhead drawdowns of 2% to 44%. This represents
average rates during the entire flow test of 16.2 million cubic
feet of gas per day ("MMcfd") and 1,620 barrels per day ("Bpd") of
condensate. An extended flow period of 26 hours was performed on a
64/64 inch choke during the test resulting in rates of 26.0 MMcfd
of gas and 2,571 Bpd of condensate. Shut-in periods were conducted
during the test however a detailed well test analysis has not been
performed. The test results should be considered as preliminary and
are not necessarily indicative of long-term performance. The well
was suspended and the drilling rig was released. The new pool
discovery will require additional drilling to determine the extent
and commerciality of the discovery.
The Abu Roash oil zone will be completed and production tested
at a future date using a work over rig.
The North Dabaa 1X exploration well was drilled, cased,
completed and tested for a total estimated cost of $6.6 million
($3.3 million to TransGlobe).
The North Dabaa 1X discovery is located approximately 1.4
kilometers east of the Company's newly awarded 100% working
interest South Ghazalat concession which is awaiting Government
ratification.
TransGlobe Energy Corporation is a Calgary-based,
growth-oriented oil and gas exploration and development company
focused on the Middle East/North Africa region with production
operations in the Arab Republic of Egypt and the Republic of Yemen.
