Start of Operations in the Lagia field
Operations on the Lagia oil field development commenced March 16, 2012. Using Petroservices Drilling Overseas (PSDO) 750 HP rig Shams 1, the six well program consists of working over two existing wells, the drilling of two development wells and drilling a further two appraisal wells.
Well Lagia 6, drilled in 2000, has now been successfully re-entered and re-perforated.
The existing Lagia 6 and 7 wells are expected to be completed with a subsurface pump whereafter two development wells and two appraisal wells are planned to be drilled to the top of the Thebes formation at around 1500 feet. The development wells will be completed with thermal casing in order to facilitate steam injection as part of a cyclic steam soak pilot project and fitted with a sucker rod pump. A contract for the rental of a 24 MM BTU steam plant is currently being finalized. The plant is expected to arrive by mid 2012. Installation of production facilities for the pilot phase is being finalized to be operational after completion of the workovers. The produced oil will be transported by road tanker to the production facilities of the General Petroleum Company (GPC) at Ras Gharib.
