PTTEP's Algerian subsidiary, PTTEP Algeria Co., Ltd. and partners PetroVietnam and Sonatrach have made an oil discovery on Blocks 433a and 416b in Algeria.
The appraisal well BRS-6bis was spudded on 6 October 2005. The well was drilled to a total depth of 3,937 meters. The final test confirms the hydrocarbon potential of Hamra Quartzite in Bir Seba structure with a maximum flow rate of 5,100 barrels of crude oil per day (44o API) and 4.8 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. This is a confirmation of Bir Seba oil discovery in the blocks 433a & 416b.
As a result of the successful test on BRS-6bis well, an aggressive and comprehensive appraisal plan is being prepared to bring the Bir Seba field into production program.
Participants are PTTEP Algeria Co., Ltd. with 35 per cent; PetroVietnam with 40 per cent and Sonatrach with 25 per cent.
