Project Profile
Location: 700 km south of Tunis, Tunisia
Production: ~ 2,000 bopd
Total Depth: 4,111 metres
Exploration start-up: 2016
The Makhrouga-Laarich-Debbech (MDL) License is located approximately 700 kilometres south of Tunis in Tunisia.
Geology: The Mid - Upper Triassic sandstones Kirchaou Formation are oil producing reservoirs in the giant El Borma, Makhrouga, Debbech, Laarich, Sanrhar and Chouech Es Saida Fields.
Discoveries
Laarich East-1: In September 2016 Eni completed operations on the discovery well Laarich East-1, located in the MLD (Makhrouga-Laarich-Debbech) license. Laarich East-1, which is 5 kilometres away from the oil treatment centre in the concession, has reached the final depth of 4,111 metres discovering hydrocarbons in sandstone layers of Silurian and Ordovician age.
Production tests revealed a delivery capacity of approximately 2,000 barrels of oil per day, confirming the upside potential of the concession identified through the recent three-dimensional geophysical survey carried out on the permit. The Laarich East-1 well has already been connected to production.
Operators:
