IPR Energy Announces Yidma/Alamein Discovery in Egypt

IPR Energy Group (IPR) has announced the discovery of the West AY-1X exploration well as well as successfully testing and producing from the new formation, Kharita, in Alamein-44.

The new formation adds an incremental 2,850 barrels per day (bbl/d) of oil to the Yidma-Alamein Western Desert Development Lease. The West AY-1X well was drilled at a depth of 13,166 ft, using a 1500 HP drilling rig. The well encountered 33 ft of perforated interval in the Basal Middle Bahariya (BMB) sand. The new well was lifted by coil tubing/nitrogen, and then it was placed on production with an ESP at a 703 bbl/d rate.

The company is currently assessing the option for additional BMB sand development offset wells to West AY-1X.

During the same campaign, the Alamein-44 well was recompleted into a fractured carbonate attic oil zone in the Alamein Dolomite formation, just 25 meters from the original field discovery well Alamein-1X.

“Fiscal Year 2024/25 represents a major milestone in the life of the A/Y Concession with the average daily production expected to exceed 6,000 BOPD, surpassing the average for FY2023/2024 by about 50%. Alamein is a classic example of innovative reservoir management and exploitation practices,” IPR CEO, Mahmoud K. Dabbous, commented.
