According to the company, the main objective for this well was to provide water injection to support oil production from the updip Al Amir SE field wells and appraise the Shagar and Rahmi sandstones of the Kareem Formation in a downdip location.
The Shagar sands were encountered from 10,329ft to 10,353ft MD with 24ft MD of net reservoir and up to 15% porosity, while the Rahmi sands were encountered from 10,404ft to 10,432ft MD with 8ft MD of net reservoir and up to 10% porosity.
The company said both sands were found to be water bearing, below the field oil-water contact.
Circle Oil has completed the well as an injector in the Rahmi sands, with the option to add the Shagar injection under a rigless operation at a later date.
