Irish Times‎: Circle announces ‘significant’ gas discovery in Morocco

Limerick-based Circle Oil, which operates in North Africa and the Middle East, has announced a significant gas discovery following the preliminary results of drilling of the KSR-12 well in the Sebou Permit, onshore Morocco.

The oil and gas exploration firm said the well, which is located within the central area of the Sebour permit, abut 1.2km to the south-west of the KSR gas gathering station, was drilled to a total depth of 1,980 metres. Gas shows, which were confirmed by wireline logging, were encountered at two different levels within the objective Hoot sands, the group said.

The net gas pay encountered in the well from wireline log analysis is 19.5 metres in the main target Intra Hoot sands and 1 metre in the Upper Hoot. This is greater than pre-drill sand thickness expectation.
