The secondary target of between 847.5m and 854.5m has a calculated net gas pay of 2m and testing of this interval will be carried out at a later date. The well is being completed as a potential producer.
A full technical evaluation of all the results of the well is underway. This will allow for forward planning as a precursor to further assessment of the resource, including conducting an extended well test to give a more complete estimation of the reserves, Circle Oil said.
The drilling rig will move to start drilling the final well of the planned six-well drilling programme in the area.
The Sebou permit lies to the north-east of Rabat in the Rharb basin in Morocco. The Rharb basin is located in the external zone of the Rif Folded belt.
