The well has been renamed Ebok-45. It was previously called EDN-1 before the drilling. Oriental Energy Resources Limited came in possession of the Ebok field after acquisition from Mobil. It is located in Oil Mining Lease 67 approximately 55 kilometres from Akwa Ibom.

According to a report, drilling on the field began in the first quarter of 2019 on the North Fault Block of the Ebok field. The drilling started as an assessment to test the hydrocarbon potential of the deeper stratigraphic levels in the Ebok field. It was drilled in water depth of 145 feet and reached a total measured depth of 9,167 feet.

It was disclosed that 170 feet of gross oil pay were uncovered in two reservoirs with further upside, while wireline logging combined with pressure and sampling confirmed excellent reservoir and fluid characteristics from both horizons.

Also speaking on behalf of the company, the Managing Director, Ignatius Ifedayo, added:  “We are delighted to report the successful appraisal drilling programme in Ebok Deep and it serves as a great boost to Oriental Energy’s vision to grow its reserves base and production in Nigeria.

“This is also in line with the nation’s quest to increase its reserves base. This is the first significant new oil discovery by Oriental Energy Resources inside its existing development area.

“With its three assets – Ebok, Okwok and OML 115, the indigenous exploration and production company is working to maintain production through strategic reservoir and wells management, optimisation of topsides as well as development of new reserves.”
