This was the second discovery in the block in as many wells, as the first well, Wafiq X-1, had also yielded a gas and condensate discovery. “The exploration well Shahdad X-1 was spud on March 30 and reached a final depth of 3,665 meters on June 19. Based on wire-line logs, potential hydrocarbon bearing zones were identified,” the report said. The initial testing in the massive sand of lower goru formation showed a flow of 27.8 MMscfd of gas along with 337 barrels per day (bbl/d) of condensate at 64/64 choke size, thus confirming the presence of commercial quantities of natural gas and condensate at Shahdad X-1, the report added.
