Kosmos updates Mahogany-2 well

Kosmos Energy, a privately held international oil exploration and production company primarily focused on exploration in West Africa, has conducted a second drillstem test of the Mahogany-2 appraisal well in the Jubilee Field offshore the Republic of Ghana.

The company conducted the test at a flow rate of 4,448 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) of 39-degree API gravity crude and approximately 5.1 million cubic feet per day of associated natural gas on a 36/64-inch choke with a flowing tubing pressure of 1,936 pounds per square inch during a second drillstem test.

The company said that the test encompassed a 23-meter perforated interval representing 40% of the oil-bearing pay in the well’s upper sands.

The flow rate was limited by equipment and facilities. The drillstem test confirms that a Jubilee production well completed in the upper sands should be capable of flowing more than 20,000 BOPD when completed with 5 1/2-inch tubing.
