Algeria: Third Illizi Basin find for Repsol

Repsol has made a third gas discovery in the Illizi basin, in southeast Algeria. The discovery made in the Tan Emellel Sud-Ouest-2 (Teso-2) exploration well in the Sud-Est Illizi block is the continuation of an already very successful exploration campaign in the high-potential area, the Spanish company said. The gas discovery was made at a depth of 1,307 metres and well testing delivered a gas flow rate of 175,000m³/d, and 90 b/d of condensate with a 32/64” choke. Repsol aims to drill at least four more wells to appraise the previous discoveries within the Sud-Est Illizi block.
