DNO has secured a 35 per cent working interest and operatorship in Block 47 in Yemen .
The concession is in the east of Block 43 and extends to the coast. Partners in the block are DNO (35 per cent interest, operator), Oil & Gas Mine Co (35 per cent), and The Yemen Co. (30 interest, 12.5 percent carried). Seismic acquisition is planned within this year.
DNO has achieved an oil production of 16,929 barrels of oil per day, representing a 17.4 per cent increase from February 2005. Also, the 2006 year-to-date oil production shows a 21.4 per cent increase compared to 2005, the company report said.
The February 2006 production decreased by 754 bpd compared to January. The decline stems primarily from well repair work at the Tasour Field in Yemen and a planned shutdown at the Glitne Field, it added.
These activities extended into March and will impact the March production. Both fields are now back on full production, though.
The Nabrajah Field delivered a stable oil production of more than 11,000 barrels of oil per day in February 2006. Nabrajah 5, the Basement oil producer, is currently delivering a production of approximately 5,300 under natural flow and zero water cut.
Work is underway to increase the capacity of existing wells at Nabrajah by increasing water handling capabilities and installing gas treatment and injection facilities.
