Les nouvelles ne sont pas bonnes pour Cairn Energy. L’entreprise actionnaire majoritaire dans la joint-venture sur le champ pétrolifère SNE n’a pas obtenu les résultats escomptés après avoir foré beaucoup plus profondément le Vega-Regulus (VR-1) en eaux profondes.
Il y a quelques jours, Cairn Enrgy en annonçant une trouvaille de deux zones de réservoir séparées ayant montré des débits de pétrole de près de 9000 barils de brut par jour, déclarait également son intention de passer des tests imprévus en forant beaucoup plus profondément le VR-1 situé à 5Km à l’ouest de la découverte SNE-1, son premier puits d’exploration. Si de prime abord la compagnie parle de 6e succès d’exploration, Cairn avoue tout de même que le Stena DrillMax (le bateau foreur)a rencontré des cibles d’exploration de carbonate plus profondes à 3899 m vers le réservoir de grès Albian.
Et selon la compagnie pétrolière, le puits a montré des indications d’hydrocarbures dans une formation serrée qui n’est pas considérée comme commerciale. En somme, l’objectif secondaire défini par Cairn comme étant prospect de VR Aptian carbonate n’a malheureusement pas fourni des quantités commerciales de brut, même si la compagnie trouve que cet échec est bien compensé par les bonnes nouvelles sur la cible principale.

En Avril, 2017 (08:48 AM)En claire, il y a du pétrole mais pas rentable commercialement.

En Avril, 2017 (09:05 AM)Seulement, quels sont les moyens financier, scientifiques et techniques des "grands experts en pétrole et autres" Sénégalais pour le vérifier?
Ah oui, j'oubliais, y a wax sa xalaat!

En Avril, 2017 (10:00 AM)la monarchie Sall-Faye va en perdre le sommeil ....
en étant actionnaire à 10%, le Sénégal doit revoir son "mirobolant héritage $$$$$ " à la baisse !
Si Cairn Energy prend le risque d'annoncer la faible tenir en pétrole de ce forage, il faut les croire et en déduire que nos châteaux en Espagne vont s'effondrer comme château de cartes !
Les grands bavards et vantards agréés sénégalais devront revoir leur copie et cesser de faire croire aux sénégalais que la manne pétrolière sera notre bâton de vieillesse et de paresse !
Qu'en pense le frère du président ???
avait-il eu vent de cet échec , raison pour laquelle il a démissionné pour partir vers des enjeux plus juteux ?????

En Avril, 2017 (12:16 PM)cette entreprise est cotée en bourse (Cairn Energy PLC)
donc aucun bénéfices à entuber le chaland avec des fausses news pour un bled qui est insignifiant dans les gisements pétroliers de la planète....

Senegal Appraisal & Exploration Well result
6 April, 2017
Cairn is pleased to announce the results of the VR-1 well offshore Senegal. Rig performance continues to be excellent and operations have been safely and successfully completed ahead of schedule and under budget following the drilling and logging operations.
Cairn’s analysis and integration of the dataset collected is continuing with initial results as follows:
VR-1 Appraisal Target
The well encountered the targeted lower (500 series) reservoirs within the oil column as anticipated, confirming the reservoir presence, fluid contacts and fluid quality in line with the results from the previous wells
Preliminary analysis indicates the lower (500 series) reservoir quality is better and slightly thicker than previously encountered
Oil and water samples were taken and recovered to surface
The appraisal results from VR-1 are very encouraging, as the well is a significant step out, some 5 km west from the line of wells drilled to date, including the SNE-1 discovery. The results will be useful for the planning of the first phase of development – the lower 500 series reservoirs are the better connected, more tabular, highly productive sands, where water-flooding should yield recovery factors of 30% or more. The well result confirms the predictability of the mapped reservoir over a wide area giving confidence to the reservoir engineering models. A resource update will be provided later this year following completion of the appraisal programme, however VR-1 has confirmed the 1C proven resources for the field.
VR-1 Exploration Target
The deeper carbonate exploration targets were encountered as expected with indications of hydrocarbons at the base of the well in tight formation that is not currently viewed as commercial
A significant amount of new stratigraphic and log data has been recorded which will be incorporated into the regional geological model
Simon Thomson, Chief Executive Cairn Energy PLC, said:
“VR-1 is the sixth successful appraisal well on the SNE field and has encountered some of the best quality reservoirs found to date, some 5 kilometres from the original SNE-1 discovery well.
Resource numbers will be updated later this year following completion of appraisal operations. The drilling programme is currently ahead of schedule and significantly under budget. We look forward to commencing operations on SNE-6.”
The VR-1 is being plugged and abandoned and the Stena DrillMAX drill ship is moving location to commence operations shortly on the SNE-6 appraisal and interference test well, ~2 km to the south of the SNE-1 discovery well.

Senegal Appraisal Well result
7 March, 2017
Cairn is pleased to announce the results of the SNE-5 appraisal well offshore Senegal where operations have been safely and successfully completed ahead of schedule and under budget following drilling, logging, drill stem testing and the setting of pressure gauges.
Cairn’s analysis and integration of the dataset collected is continuing with initial results in line with expectations and as follows:
SNE-5 targeted a location in the Upper Reservoirs where two principal units are located within the oil leg
Main reservoir units, pressure data and fluid contacts match previous SNE wells as expected
Multiple samples of oil and gas were recovered during wireline logging and drill stem tests; analysis indicates oil of similar quality to previous wells
Two drill stem tests were conducted within the Upper Reservoir units over gross intervals of 18m and 8.5m and were in line with expectations:
DST 1a flowed from an 18m interval at a maximum rate of ~4,500 barrels of oil per day (bopd) on a 60/64” choke. Two main flows of 24 hours each were performed; the first at ~2,500 bopd on a 40/64” choke, followed by a second at ~3,000 bopd on 56/64” choke
For DST 1b an additional 8.5m zone was added and the well flowed at a maximum rate of 4,200 bopd and for 24 hours at an average rate of ~3,900 bopd on 64/64”choke
The SNE-5 well has been plugged and abandoned and the Stena DrillMAX drill ship is moving location to commence operations shortly on the Vega-Regulus (VR-1) well, ~5 km to the west of the SNE-1 discovery.
VR-1 has two objectives; an Aptian exploration target and an appraisal objective in the SNE field.
The well will target the Vega-Regulus exploration prospect in the Aptian Carbonates underlying the SNE field which has potential gross mean consolidated prospective resource of more than 100 mmbbls.
In addition, the well will further appraise the SNE field targeting potential incremental resources. The results will help narrow the range of SNE field volumes and also allow the JV time to fully integrate the results of SNE-5 prior to moving to appraisal well SNE-6 to complete the planned interference test.
