The two main reservoirs, the Turonian and the Cenomanian, which tested hydrocarbon successfully in both Aje-1 and Aje-2 were found to be significantly down dip from the discovery well as well as below the existing oil water contact defined in Aje-2 at the Cenomanian level. The Aje-2 appraisal well confirmed the oil, gas and condensate pays in the Turonian sands seen in Aje-1, and discovered a new deeper oil pay in the Cenomanian interval which flowed at stabilized rates of 3,866 barrels per day of 44 degree API light sweet crude and a nominal volume (6. |
