United Oil and Gas PLC (UOG) announced the discovery of commercial net pay at the Al Jahraa-13 (AJ-13) development well, located in Egypt’s onshore Abu Sennan license.

According to the UOG’s statement, this makes it the seventh successful well in a row at Abu Sennan since the company acquired its interest in the license.

UOG further elaborated that AJ-13 well encountered a net pay of 17.5m in the oil-bearing at the lower and upper Bahariya reservoir targets. Moreover, the development well reached its total depth ahead of schedule.

“We have had outstanding results with our drilling campaign in 2021 with five out of five successful wells drilled at Abu Sennan this year. All of the wells have been brought into production quickly, generating cash flow for the Company. The 2021 drilling campaign has further de-risked the exploration potential at Abu Sennan and the development wells have provided further valuable data for future exploration drill targets two of which are included in the 2022 program; ASF-1X and AST-1X,” UOG CEO Brian Larkin commented.
