2008 | Hess Announces Results of Africa Exploration Drilling
Hess Corporation announced the outcome of its recent exploratory drilling program in Africa.
In Libya, well A1-54/01 in the Arous Al-Bahar prospect was drilled to a depth of 11,077 feet in 2,807 feet of water. The well encountered a gross hydrocarbon section of approximately 500 feet at various intervals. Hess holds a 100 percent working interest in Area 54, which is located 38 miles offshore in the Sirte Basin.
In Egypt, the Dekhila-1x well in the West Mediterranean (Block 1) deepwater area, located 45 miles offshore within the Nile Delta Basin, was drilled to a depth of 8,881 feet in 3,883 feet of water and found a gross hydrocarbon section of 148 feet at multiple intervals. Hess holds a 55 percent working interest in the production sharing arrangement with the state company, EGPC. The company's partners are RWE Dea (35 percent) and Kufpec (10 percent). The results of Dekhila-1x will be incorporated into engineering studies for the wider West Med development.
In Ghana, Hess has completed drilling operations on the Ankobra-1 well, located on the Deepwater Tano Cape Three Points license, without encountering commercially significant hydrocarbons. The well was drilled to a depth of 13,000 feet in 5,682 feet of water. Hess holds a 90 percent interest in the license in partnership with Ghana National Petroleum Company. Hess is currently acquiring 625 square miles of new 3D seismic in anticipation of a well to be drilled in the unexplored western half of the license area.
