Tethys Oil has recently completed drilling the Kunooz-1 exploration well on Block 58 onshore Sultanate of Oman. The well reached a final depth of 3,923 meters, targeting the Buah and Khufai formations as primary targets and the Birba formation as a secondary target. Wireline logging operations have been carried out, showing low porosity and fractured dolomitic limestone. A flow test is needed to confirm the potential for hydrocarbons in the target formations.
The drilling operations for the Kunooz-1 well have been successfully completed, with indications of high reservoir permeability in the Birba and Buah formations. However, limited data was collected from the deeper Khufai formation due to operational challenges. Further well completion and flow testing is expected to take place over the next four weeks to evaluate the flow performance and potential hydrocarbon reserves in the well.
Tethys Oil is an oil exploration and production company that focuses on onshore areas with known oil discoveries. Their core area of operations is the Sultanate of Oman, where they hold interests in multiple blocks, including Block 58. The company has net working interest 2P reserves of 21.7 million barrels of oil and net working interest 2C contingent resources of 15.5 million barrels of oil. In 2023, Tethys Oil had an average oil production of 8,818 barrels per day.
With the completion of drilling and wireline logging operations on the Kunooz-1 well, Tethys Oil is now moving forward with well completion and flow testing to determine the potential for hydrocarbons in the target formations. The company’s focus on onshore areas in Oman has proven to be successful, with significant reserves and production levels. The completion of the well testing program is expected to provide valuable data on the flow performance and reserves within the Birba and Buah formations.
The completion of the Kunooz-1 exploration well marks another milestone for Tethys Oil in their exploration and production activities in Oman. The successful drilling operations and wireline logging indicate the presence of fractured dolomitic limestone in the target formations, which will require further testing to confirm the potential for hydrocarbons. The company’s commitment to onshore exploration in Oman has led to the discovery of significant reserves and production levels, positioning them as a key player in the region.
As Tethys Oil continues with the completion and testing of the Kunooz-1 well, they remain focused on maximizing the potential of their exploration and production activities in Oman. The company’s significant net working interest reserves and contingent resources, along with their average oil production levels, demonstrate their successful presence in the region. The outcome of the flow testing program on the Kunooz-1 well will provide valuable insights into the potential reserves and production levels in the Birba and Buah formations, further solidifying Tethys Oil’s position as a leading oil exploration and production company in Oman.
