Vaalco Energy has reported strong initial results from its ongoing drilling campaign offshore Gabon, highlighted by the successful completion and startup of the Ebouri-5H development well and the mobilization of the drilling rig to its next target.
The Ebouri-5H well was drilled and completed at the top of the Ebouri field structure, encountering a 300-meter net pay interval in high-quality Gamba sands.
The well was brought onstream at an initial production rate exceeding 8,000 barrels of oil per day gross, equivalent to approximately 4,700 barrels per day net to Vaalco, with very low water cut.
Following completion of Ebouri-5H, the drilling rig has been mobilized to the SEENT platform, where it will drill the ETBNM-3 development well. The directionally drilled well is located adjacent to the GMF-1X discovery and will target gas and condensate resources in the Dentale D15 reservoir at the crest of the North Tchibala structure.
Vaalco said natural gas from a successful well would be used in field operations, reducing reliance on diesel currently transported offshore by vessel.
"We are very pleased with the continued positive results
