British SDX Energy kicks off drilling program in Morocco

The British SDX Energy announced on Thursday that it has launched its delayed Morocco drilling program at the Lalla Mimouna Sud concession with the spudding of the SAK-1 exploration well.

The company said in a statement that it began drilling the well on August 6. The SAK-1 is targeting the Guebbas formation, at a measured depth of around 1,108 metres.

According to Energy Voice website, “SDX said this is the first of a two-well campaign on the company’s acreage in the Gharb Basin in the third quarter. It may opt to drill another three wells, later this year and into early next year, depending on its drilling results and customer demand.”

SDX CEO Mark Reid said the SAK-1 was intended to “add reserves to allow us to continue supplying gas to our customers in line with their contractual requirements. Success at SAK-1 would also open a new exploration area for us to the west of our existing production hub, with several follow-up prospects already having been identified.”
