London-listed Genel Energy has reported further success on the Miran West prospect onshore in Kurdistan where a latest well has confirmed gas.

Although testing of a Lower Cretaceous formation resulted in no measurable hydrocarbon flow to surface due to a connected fracture network, Genel says results from wireline logs at Miran West 3,  drill site observations and gas recovered at surface had confirmed that the Lowe Cretaceous reservoir is gas-bearing.

“Detailed work is being undertaken on the recently processed 3D seismic and offset well data to establish the areas of effective reservoir for this formation,” the company has stated.

Also an interval below the Lower Cretaceous was found to be high pressure, which meant that the well has had to be side-tracked. “Further drilling will appraise the Jurassic reservoir intervals which were discovered by the Miran West-2 well,” the company says, and a number of well tests are planned, and drilling is due to be completed within a couple of months.

Tony Hayward, Genel's chief executive added: “The Miran 3 well has confirmed the presence of gas in place at this location on the Miran structure - integration of the well results and the recently completed 3D seismic survey will provide a better estimate of the potential recoverable gas reserves and assist in development planning.”
