Project Profile
Location: Rharb Basin, Morocco
Area: 2211 km2
Start-up Year: -
The Lalla Mimouna permit is a partnership between Circle Oil Maroc Ltd (COML) and onHYM (Office Nationale de Hydrocarbures et des Mines). In early 2010 COML signed the Lalla Mimouna Permit Agreement for permits named \"Lalla Mimouna Nord\" and \"Lalla Mimouna Sud\" also situated in the Rharb Basin. These Permits cover an area of over 2211 km2 and are considered to be a continuation of the same geology and exploration play to the Sebou Permit. The agreement is for a period of 8 years with the right of automatic conversion up to a 30 year exploitation period for areas agreed to have discovered commercially exploitable hydrocarbons. LAM-1, the first well drilled by Circle on the Lalla Mimouna permit, targeted the Miocene gas-bearing sands, similar to the Sebou Permit to the south of Lalla Mimouna. The TD of the well at 1,541 metres MD was reached on 26 May 2015, prospective gas zones were logged, a completion string was installed and the rig relocated to drill the ANS-2 well. The primary target was perforated at 1,261-1,272 metres and flowed gas at a stabilised rate of 1.9 MMscf/d on a 16/64\" choke and the secondary target was perforated at 1,181-1,183 metres MD and flowed at a stabilised rate of 1.1 MMscf/d on a 16/64\" choke.
