Project Profile
Value: US$42 million (Kundji)
Location: Mensala district, onshore in the Republic of Congo
Production: 5,000 bopd (2015)
Area: 700 sq. km
The MKB permit is a license onshore in the Republic of Congo. The Mengo, Kundji and Bindi fields contain light (32 degree API) oil in low permeability Lower Cretaceous sandstone reservoirs and had a total of six producing wells drilled by Elf in the 1980\'s and 1990\'s. The permit was reissued to Société Nationale des Pétroles du Congo (\"SNPC\") and partners in 2009.
After initial clean up the KUN-201 well was tested for 5 days at a constant 18/64\" choke size. Over this period, the well tested at an average rate of 315 bopd. A longer production test has now been performed on the KUN-202 well. The well was produced for one day at a 20/64\" choke and produced an average of around 700 bopd for that period. The well was then choked back to an 18/64\" choke size which is a more representative production setting, and over an 8 day test period the well tested at an average of 383 bopd. The KUN-203 well was flowed at a 20/64\" choke for around one day and flowed at an average rate of 586 bopd. Following these tests the wells will commence commingled production. This is expected to take place during May 2012. The drilling of the KUN-204 well has progressed according to plan. Drilling of this well is now completed and the well has been logged. Log results will be released in due course. The KUN-205 well has been spudded and will target a location 950m north by north west of the Kundji 200 platform. There are new operational activities, with additional wells currently being programmed to be drilled during 2012 and beyond.
