Apache Taps Oil at Egypt's West Kalabsha.Summary: Apache Apache (əpăch`ē), Native North Americans of the Southwest composed of six culturally related groups. They speak a language that has various dialects and belongs to the Athabascan branch of the Nadene linguistic stock (see Native American has reported that the WKAL-C-1X discovery on the West Kalabsha concession established the westernmost production in Egypt's Western Desert. The well flowed 4,746 barrels of oil and 4.4 million cubic feet of gas per day in a test of the Jurassic Safa formation. Apache has reported that the WKAL-C-1X discovery on the West Kalabsha concession established the westernmost production in Egypt's Western Desert. The well flowed 4,746 barrels of oil and 4.4 million cubic feet of gas per day in a test of the Jurassic Safa formation. The WKAL-C-1X is located in the Faghur Basin, eight miles northwest of Apache's 2006 Faghur-1 ST1 discovery and 50 miles east of the Libyan border. The well was drilled to a total depth of 14,600 feet and logged 46 feet of Safa oil pay as well as 36 feet of pay in the Alem Al´em n. 1. (Mil.) The imperial standard of the Turkish Empire.

Wireline pressure data suggests the water level may be at least 190 feet below the base of the oil sand. "The WKAL-C-1X discovery represents the westernmost oil ever discovered in Egypt Egypt (ē`jĭpt), Arab.

Steven Farris, Apache's president and chief executive officer. Oil produced in the Faghur-1 ST1 and nearby Heqet, Kalabsha and Neith Fields is found in Jurassic-aged sands below 14,000 feet that were sourced from Jurassic-aged shales and coals buried bur·y tr.v. bur·ied, bur·y·ing, bur·ies 1.

Temperatures in the Faghur Basin are much cooler than the Shushan Basin, the location of the Jurassic Qasr field, Apache's largest field; thus, a large portion of the Faghur Basin is oil-bearing, as opposed to the hotter-temperature, gas-bearing Shushan Basin. The WKAL-C-1X Safa oil accumulation is estimated to be about 580 acres. The prospective area of the Jurassic oil play fairway associated with the Faghur Basin is estimated to comprise approximately 830 square miles A square mil is a unit of area, equal to the area of a square with sides of length one mil. A mil is one thousandth of an international inch. This unit of area is usually used in specifying the area of the cross section of a wire or cable. , mostly within Apache-operated concessions. Apache operates the West Kalabsha concession and has a 100-percent contractor interest. Copyright UMCI News Provided by Syndigate.info an Albawaba.com company |
