Test production from the Early Production System (EPS) on Blocks 3 and 4
onshore the Sultanate of Oman continues and amounted in June to 103,505 barrels
of oil, corresponding to 3,450 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). Total production
in the second quarter 2011 amounted to 215,283 barrels of oil, corresponding to
2,366 BOPD. Tethys' share of the production, before government take, amounts to
30 per cent of the total, or 31,051 barrels in June and 64,585 barrels in the
second quarter.
Long term production tests have been carried out on wells from both the Saiwan
East oil field on Block 4 and the Farha South oilfield on Block 3. The
production rates vary depending on test programme design and available
capacity.
The EPS is running close to full capacity. Followingly, wells that have been on
long term test for an extended period of time may have to be shut in to allow
new wells to be properly tested. Ways to increase the capacity of the EPS is
being investigated while work on a more permanent production system is
continuing.
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.
