Dana Digs Deep, Spies Oil Saturations at Gulf of Suez Concession.Summary: Dana Petroleum reported that drilling and wireline logging Wireline Logging consists of measuring and recording the physical properties of the rocks in oil wells. "Logging" consists of introducing sensors in a borehole via a "wireline", an electromechanical cable. operations have now been successfully completed on the Akhenaton-1 exploration well in the South October concession, offshore Gulf of Suez Noun 1. Gulf of Suez - a northwestern arm of the Red Sea linked to the Mediterranean by the Suez Canal Red Sea - a long arm of the Indian Ocean between northeast Africa and Arabia; linked to the Mediterranean at the north end by the Suez Canal , Egypt. Dana Petroleum reported that drilling and wireline logging operations have now been successfully completed on the Akhenaton-1 exploration well in the South October concession, offshore Gulf of Suez, Egypt. The well was drilled to a total depth of 13,322 feet below sea-level, penetrating both the primary and secondary targets. The top of the secondary Thebes target was encountered at 11,704 feet below sea-level and the primary Nubia target was encountered at 13,087 feet. A full suite of electrical wireline logs has been acquired, including the use of a formation imaging tool. Although the Nubia was water bearing, oil was encountered in the shallower Thebes and Sudr formations with high oil saturations seen over an extensive vertical interval Difference in altitude between two specified points or locations, e.g., the battery or firing ship and the target; observer location and the target; location of previously fired target and new target; observer and a height of burst; and battery or firing ship and a height of burst, etc. of 893 feet. The Thebes and Sudr formations are low porosity porosity /po·ros·i·ty/ (por-os´it-e) the condition of being porous; a pore. po·ros·i·ty n. 1. The state or property of being porous. 2. fractured limestones and an imaging tool was therefore used to gather information on the extent of fracturing. A thorough interpretation of the acquired data will now be required before an assessment can be made of the commercial viability of this oil discovery. The well has been suspended sus·pend v. sus·pend·ed, sus·pend·ing, sus·pends v.tr. 1.

Ground rent deeds and leases frequently contain a clause authorizing the landlord to reenter on the non-payment of rent, or the breach of some covenant, when the at a later date. The data from Akhenaton-1 is also important for assessing further prospectivity in the South October concession, including the planned drilling of the Nefertiti prospect. Following the completion of operations on Akhenaton-1, the IO3 drilling rig will move to the South-East July concession in the Gulf of Suez where Dana will operate the drilling of the South July-1 well.
