Gross production from BEA is approximately 500 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and the 2011 work program is designed to delineate the reservoirs and to treble production to 1,400bopd during the year.
Operationally three development wells, BEA 8, 9 and 10, are planned to commence drilling in May and to develop oil accumulations in the Abu Roash G dolomite formation and the deeper Bahariya clastics section.
The development wells will also evaluate the deeper Al Amaine dolomite formation where oil has previously been encountered.
There will also be a six-well workover program during 2011 to increase and accelerate field production.
In addition, one exploration well will be drilled during the second half of 2011 to test a separate fault block in the 72 square kilometre BEA development lease.
East West Petroleum is an exploration and production company focused on conventional and unconventional petroleum resources.
