OMAN ASSET PRODUCTION AVERAGED 9,497 BOPD IN FEBRUARY
Test production from the Early Production System (EPS) on Blocks 3 and 4
onshore the Sultanate of Oman continues and amounted in February 2012 to
275,419 barrels of oil, corresponding to 9,497 barrels of oil per day (BOPD).
Tethys’ share of the production, before government take, amounts to 30 per cent
of the total, or 82,626 barrels.
The production in February was affected by the start up of the inter field
pipeline connecting the Farha South oil field with the production facilities at
the East Saiwan oil field.
Long term production tests have been carried out on wells from both the Saiwan
East oil field on Block 4 and the Farha South oil field on Block 3. Production
rates continue to vary depending on test programme design and available
capacity.
Tethys has a 30 per cent interest in Blocks 3 and 4. Partners are Mitsui E&P
Middle East B.V. with 20 per cent and the operator CC Energy Development S.A.L.
(Oman branch) holding the remaining 50 per cent.
