Côte d’Ivoire: New find for Foxtrot partners

Foxtrot International has made a gas discovery with the Marlin North-1 well on offshore Block CI-27. RAK Petroleum said the well flowed gas and oil from the Turonian and Lower Senonian intervals, neither of which had previously tested hydrocarbons on the block. A 22-metre perforated section of the gas-bearing column in the Turonian flowed 25mcf/d of gas and 150 b/d of condensates through a 46/64 inch choke, while in the Lower Senonian, an 11-metre perforated section of the oil-bearing column flowed 1,525 b/d of 27° API oil and 0.6mcf/d of associated gas through a 28/64 inch choke.
