SONATRACH has made three discoveries, including two gas discoveries in its own effort and an oil discovery in partnership with Eni. The first is a discovery of condensate gas made in two Devonian reservoirs, following the drilling by SONATRACH of an exploration well In Ekker Sud West-1 in the In Amenas 2 research perimeter of the Illizi Basin. The flow rates recorded during the tests are 300,000 cubic meters per day of gas and 26 cubic meters per day of condensate, from the first tank and 213,000 cubic meters per day of gas and 17 cubic meters per day of condensate from the second tank. The second discovery was made by SONATRACH and its partner Eni following the drilling of the Rhourde Oulad Djemaa Ouest-1 exploration well in the Sif Fatima 2 research perimeter located in the northern region of the Basin. The RODW-1 well, the third in the current exploration drilling campaign in the said region, revealed a discovery of crude oil in the sandstones of the Trias Argileux Argileux Inferieur reservoir of the Triassic formation. During the production test, the well yielded 1,300 barrels per day of oil and 51,000 cubic meters per day of associated gas. The commissioning of these two discoveries will be done through rapid fast-track development, given their proximity to the existing facilities of OHANET and Rhourde Oulad Djemaa. A third positive result was recorded by SONATRACH during the drilling of a Tamzaia-3 delineation well on the Taghit research perimeter of the Bechar Basin , where an interesting gas production was obtained during the Siegenian (Lower Devonian) reservoir formation test. This result thus highlights a gas potential in this previously untested reservoir in a region considered to be an emerging domain.
