San Donato Milanese, 1st September 2016. Eni informs that Zohr 5x, the fifth well on Zohr structure has been successfully drilled to the final TD of 14,271 ft (4,350 m). The Zohr 5x well is located in 1,538 m of water depth and 12 Km south west from the discovery well Zohr 1x.
The well proved the presence of a carbonatic reservoir and gas accumulation also in the South-Western part of the Zohr mega-structure encountering about 590 ft (180 metres) of continuous hydrocarbon column in the carbonate sequence with excellent reservoir characteristics. The results are confirming the potential of the Zohr Field at 30 Tcf OGIP.

July 11, 2016, Mohamed Adel Indicators for the second well revealed larger reserves; six wells to be drilled in total at a cost of $100m each
The primary indicators of Zohr field’s second well, developed by Italian company Eni, show an increase in gas reserves owing to the discovery of a gas-carrying layer that is larger than that found in the first well.
These results indicate an increase in production to 250m cubic feet per day compared to the initial test results of 150m cubic feet in the concession area of Egypt’s territorial waters in the Mediterranean Sea.
