Circle Oil exploration well finds more gas in Morocco

LIMERICK-headquartered international oil and gas exploration company Circle Oil has found more gas at its operations in northern Africa, which could well present serious benefits for the company and local population alike.

The latest find comes as a direct result of test drilling at the company’s KSR-10 exploration well in the Sebou Permit in Morocco’s Rharb Basin and follows a previous successful gas find there.

The well first tested gas at a sustained rate of 10.6 mmscf/d (millions of standard cubic feet per day); while additional gas pay zones of 4.4 metres, 3.1 metres and 1.4 metres in three areas of the well were found.
