Maha Energy AB (publ) ("Maha" or the "Company") Completes SES 107 Workover and Provides Operational Update for Brazil
OPERATIONAL UPDATE - BRAZIL
The Workover
The previously announced workover (the "Workover") of the SES107D well (the "Well") on the Company's Tartaruga Field near Aracaju, Brazil was substantially completed earlier this week. The objective of the Workover was to remove an old tubing string and the associated lost in hole debris from an old wireline tool, recomplete the Well, install a hydraulic jet pump, and to return the Well to continuous production.
The Well has been producing intermittently on free flow for the past years and was a perfect candidate for the application of artificial lift. The use of a jet pump allows for efficient comingling of oil and gas, which is crucial for this type of reservoir. The pump is similar to that used at the currently producing 7TTG well on the Tartaruga Field which has been on continuous pump production since December 2015.
The completed exhaustive workover program successfully fished partially cut 2-7/8" production tubing and approximately 2300 m of frayed wireline out of the hole allowing for the installation of the new hydraulic jet pump in the hole.
The Test
A production flow test of the Well commenced on 12 February 2017 at 2100 hrs. The test is now complete and after a significant clean-out period where most of the workover fluid was recovered, the final production rate was recorded at (oil) 220 BOPD and (water) 90 BWPD (the final six-hour production average was 192 BOPD) and increasing while water production was decreasing.
"The well test is very much in line with our predicted production rate. The test has been successfully concluded, and as soon as the workover rig has been demobilized, the well will be hooked up to the permanent production facilities at Tartaruga for continuous production. We are very pleased with the results.", commented Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha Energy.
