Eni has successfully completed the appraisal of the Cronos-2 well in Block 6, offshore Cyprus, confirming the extension and ‘exceptional deliverability’ of the Cronos gas discovery.

The production test, crucial for development studies, estimates a well production capacity exceeding 150 million standard cubic feet per day in production configuration.

The Cronos-2 well was drilled approximately 3km from the Cronos-1 exploration well to confirm the lateral extension and assess the reservoir characteristics.

Eni said the well encountered a similar carbonate reservoir sequence, verifying hydraulic communication and a connected thick gas column with excellent permeability intervals.

The comprehensive data acquisition and an extensive production test at Cronos-2 have demonstrated the discovery’s outstanding gas deliverability.
