Condor Energies, a Canadian based energy transition company, has provided an operational update for its eight gas field production enhancement project in Uzbekistan.
Two recently worked-over wells have returned to service and are providing 441 boepd of incremental production, after a combined 20 meters of previously unperforated reservoir pay was accessed. Prior to the workovers, the first well wasn’t producing and is now flowing 410 boepd based on a 24 hour production test. Although the second well is still recovering workover fluids, its incremental flow rate is already 31 boepd or a 65% increase, also based on a 24 hour test. As disclosed earlier this month, three prior workovers added a cumulative 330 boepd of incremental production.
A second rig that was planned for delivery in early November has already begun workover activities on a well that is targeting up to 25 meters of previously unperforated reservoir. With over 100 wells in the eight fields, there is a large inventory of both producing and shut-in wells available for evaluation, recompletion and optimization opportunities to profitably grow production.
The extensive geological evaluations performed, coupled with recent workover results, suggest that material untapped hydrocarbon potential exists within the carbonate formations of the Company’s 279 km2 license area. These carbonate platforms contain thick reservoir sections interbedded with laterally extensive evaporite layers, creating ideal conditions for hydrocarbon trapping. The reservoirs are analogous to carbonate formations in Canada’s Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (“WCSB”), such as the Charlie Lake and Midale, which continue to be successfully monetized. By leveraging this geological similarity, the Company is maturing the potential of horizontal and multi-lateral drilling, a proven method in Canada to enhance deliverability and maximize recovery from these reservoirs.
Don Streu, President and CEO of Condor commented: 'We continue to be very pleased with the early results of our workover program and are excited to have a second service rig operating. The multiple successes of world-class developments in the WCSB showcases how carbonate reservoirs can deliver impressive production rates and recoveries. The geological characteristics in Uzbekistan – thick reservoirs interbedded with evaporites – are strikingly similar to those found in Western Canada, where decades of production have been economically sustained. By employing advanced horizontal and stacked drilling techniques, we could achieve even higher deliverability and maximize recovery from our Jurassic carbonate reservoirs, mirroring the positive Canadian analogue outcomes.'
