OSLO, Norway – Remediation work on the Aje-5 well in OML 113 offshore Nigeria is scheduled to begin in December, partner Panoro Energy ASA said in its 3Q financial results.
Production rates during the quarter have continued to be limited, as the well requires subsurface intervention to remedy a mechanical problem.
Further to that, the availability of the gas lift on the Front Puffin FPSO to optimize production rates was limited and some modifications and repair to components of that system have been necessary.
The gas lift system engineering work has been delayed but is now well under way and the system is planned to be operational again in the near future, Panoro confirmed. The delay in using the gas lift system has impacted production during 3Q and will also affect the production expected in 4Q.
However, the Aje-4 well produced throughout the quarter and continues to perform better than anticipated in earlier modeling. On average, the Aje field produced more than 600 b/d of oil net to Panoro during the quarter.
