New Oil Well Discoveries at Warwick West by Hurricane Energy
A discovery in the Warwick West rounds off a three-well drill programme alongside Centrica-backed venture partner Spirit Energy.
Hurricane Energy Plc has revealed results from the Warwick West well which confirmed a discovery and measured oil flows.
The success rounds off a three well drill programme and marks a more positive result, after it kicked off with the Warwick Deep well which, in July, encountered a ‘poorly connected’ section of reservoir and failed to flow hydrocarbons at commercially viable rates.
In an 85 hour well test, the Warwick West reservoir flowed at a maximum rate of 1,300 barrels of oil per day.
The statement, Hurricane noted that it was not able to reliably measure a stable flow rate using an electric submersible pump as the well was still in the process of cleaning-up.
