BW Energy: Update on Kudu appraisal well
BW Energy provides an update on the Kharas-1 appraisal well, which has reached
total depth and drilled multiple formations present across the Kudu license.
The well was strategically designed to intersect several targets within a single
borehole. While this approach did not allow for individual optimisation of each
formation, it provided valuable geological data across the broader petroleum
system.
Preliminary results are encouraging. Several intervals show indications of
hydrocarbon presence and reservoir potential, suggesting a working petroleum
system at Kharas. Early analysis indicates that the K1 interval may contain
hydrocarbons wetter than dry gas. A hydrocarbon migration front has been
observed, and wireline operations are underway to assess reservoir quality,
fluid type, and pressure characteristics.
A follow-up appraisal campaign will be required to evaluate the individual
targets in greater detail. The outcome of the wireline program will guide
decisions on the next well location and the future appraisal strategy.
