The West Akcakoca-1 well has now had the remaining three perforation intervals totaling four meters perforated for a total of five zones. Prior delays involving weather conditions and waiting for spare parts to advance the operation have been overcome and the perforation program is now complete.
Results for the perforation of West Akcakoca-1 are as follows:
The initial two perforated zones consisting of five meters of gas pay increased the well head pressure (WHP) from 1,150 psi to 1,350 psi.
Perforation of the subsequent three zones increased WHP from 1,350 psi to 1,694 psi.
West Akcakoca-1 is now producing 2.8 MMcf/d using a 28/64 choke to ensure its high-pressure will not back out other wells.
At this time, total combined production from the Akcakoca platform is 7.3 MMcf/d (100% interest), including the Guluc-2, West Akcakoca-1 and South Akcakoca-2 wells. Production increases are expected as new tubing (velocity strings) are installed in the near future on additional wells.
