SDX Energy announced that it has started spudding the MA-1X exploration well (SDX WI 67%), targeting the Mohsen prospect in the Exploration Extension Area of South Disouq.

MA-1X is expected to reach the total depth (TD) in around three weeks. It is targeting an estimated gross average of 21 billion cubic feet (bcf).

In this regard, Mark Reid, CEO of SDX, commented “I am pleased to announce the spudding of MA-1X, the third and final well in the 2022 South Disouq drilling campaign. This well is targeting the basal Kafr El Sheikh play, where we have had five successful wells to date in the Ibn Yunus, Sobhi and Warda fields. I look forward to updating the market with the results of this well in due course.”
