SDX Energy reported positive results from the Ibn Yunus 1X gas well the company drilled Abu Madi horizon in Egypt.

The Ibn Yunus 1X well was drilled to a total depth of 9,608ft, and encountered 100.8 ft. of net conventional natural gas pay in the Abu Madi horizon, which had an average porosity in the pay section of 28.5%.

Well test operations have now commenced and the well has successfully flowed natural gas at a stabilised rate of 39.3 MMscf/d on a 32/64" choke. This flow rate exceeded initial expectations and was limited by the surface facilities put in place to test the well. The well has now been shut in for an initial build-up after which a series of additional flowing periods will be conducted and fluid samples taken.

Working with its partners, SDX will now aim to bring the discovery into commercial production prior to year end 2018.
