Mediterranean's Guendalina Field Development on Schedule

Mediterranean Oil and Gas reports that the first gas is likely to flow from the Guendalina gas field on schedule, between September 25 and October 5, 2011.

The company reports that the field development program has made successful progress with the completion of drilling of two development wells, Guendalina 2Dir (GUE2Dir) and Guendalina 3 (GUE3).

After drilling to target depths of 3290m and 316m respectively for the Gue 2Dir and Gue 3 wells,all the expected gas bearing levels have been encountered and logged and the wells prepared for production.

On well GUE2Dir, the level PL3-J3 has been completed for production, while the deeper exploration gas target (PL3-K) has not been completed. This level will be subject to future additional G&G studies (seismic inversion) to assess potential future development.

GUE3 confirmed that the two main gas targets, PL3-I1 & PL3-J3, are gas bearing. Moreover, an additional gas level (PL3-J), which was not included in the original development plan, was also positively evaluated and will be completed to production.

The layout of the sea line to connect the Guendalina platform to the other existing ENI offshore gas production infrastructure has been completed and the platform Deck installation was also completed on 27th July 2011.
