据世界石油网5月9日报道，Apex国际能源公司宣布，法伊尔-8开发井的测试日产量为2440桶石油和可忽略不计的水。该井在Bahariya地层的砂岩中发现了98英尺高质量的产油层。该井与生产设施相连，并于5月8日开始首次生产，距离钻机释放不到四天。
法伊尔8号井位于该公司东南Meleiha (SEM)特许区的西部沙漠，由法拉石油公司(PetroFarah)经营，法拉石油公司是Apex和埃及通用石油公司(EGPC)于2021年4月成立的合资经营公司。PetroFarah最近庆祝了其安全高效运营的第一年，没有对人员或环境造成伤害。
自石油和矿产资源部2021年3月批准开发这一商业发现以来，法伊尔-8将是法伊尔油田的第五口生产井。加上SEM的Farah(三口井)和Mashreq(一口井)生产油田(已批准在2021年开发)，SEM的石油总产量预计将从目前的每天4300桶增加到本周9口井的每天6000桶以上。所有油井都从深度小于5000英尺的层段生产。
“PetroFarah对Apex在2021年发现的三个新油田的快速开发，证明了我们与EGPC在增加Apex和埃及石油产量方面的紧密关系和紧迫感。”Apex创始人兼董事长Roger Plank说。
Apex总裁兼首席执行官汤姆·马赫表示：“随着本月晚些时候SEM将使用第二个钻机，并确定了许多钻井位置，我们期待继续取得开发成功。”“我们还拥有SEM和邻近的East Siwa区块的其他勘探前景和线索，在2021年EGPC竞标中，Apex (50%)和我们的合作伙伴埃尼集团子公司IEOC (50%)中标。”
Apex在SEM勘探特许权中拥有100%的工作权益，包括1713平方公里(661平方英里)。该公司通过EGPC 2016年勘探投标获得特许权权益，并于2017年8月签署了特许权协议。

APEX INTERNATIonAL ENERGY TESTS WELL AT 2,440 BARRELS PER DAY IN EGYPT’S WESTERN DESERT
Apex International Energy announced the Fajr-8 development well was tested at a daily rate of 2,440 barrels of oil and negligible water. The well encountered 98 feet of high-quality oil pay in sandstone of the Bahariya Formation. The well was connected to production facilities and opened for the first production on May 8, less than four days from rig release.
The Fajr-8 well, in the Western Desert in the company’s South East Meleiha (SEM) concession, is operated by Farah Petroleum Company (PetroFarah), the joint venture operating company of Apex and the Egyptian General Petroleum Company (EGPC) established in April 2021. PetroFarah recently celebrated its first year of safe and efficient operations with no injuries to people or harm to the environment.
Fajr-8 will be the fifth producing well in Fajr Field since the commercial discovery was approved for development by the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources in March 2021. Together with the producing Farah (three wells) and Mashreq (one well) fields in SEM, also approved for development in 2021, total SEM oil production is expected to increase from 4,300 barrels per day currently to over 6,000 barrels per day from 9 total wells this week. All the wells produce from intervals less than 5,000 feet in depth.
“PetroFarah’s rapid development of the three new field discoveries made by Apex in 2021 is a testament to the strong relationship and sense of urgency we share with EGPC to increase Apex’s and Egypt’s oil production,” said Apex’s founder and Chairman, Roger Plank.
“With a second rig being utilized at SEM later this month, and numerous drilling locations identified, we look forward to continued development success,” said Tom Maher, Apex’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also have a strong inventory of other exploration prospects and leads across SEM and the neighboring East Siwa block, awarded in the 2021 EGPC Bid Round to Apex (50%) and our partner, Eni subsidiary IEOC (50%).”
Apex holds a 100% working interest in the SEM exploration concession, encompassing 1,713 square kilometers (661 square miles). The company acquired the concession interest through the 2016 exploration bid round of EGPC and signed the concession agreement in August 2017.
