Oil Explorations

Genel is in Advanced oil exploration with OCTG Planned for Toosan drilling Including installation of well taps, the Somaliland government awarded Genel Energy license to explore oil within its territory. Results of a surface seep study completed early in 2015 confirmed the outstanding potential offered in SL-10B and SL-13 block and Oodweyne block with estimated oil reserves of 1 billion barrel each.[6] Keyfacts energy media source state Toosan-1 will target a footwall closure (~ 50 sq km) which contains four reservoir targets totaling ~ 650 MMbbl (mean prospective resources), with 192 MMbbl in the primary Qishn Fm target. A fast-track pilot production model has been developed to minimise time to first oil by genel energy , and downside mitigation is provided by low a minimum economic field size and a phased development model. Genel Plans OCTG (Oil Country Tubular goods) instalment and exploration towards production in Toosan well 1 with many wells in Toosan targeted. major Bahadhamal oil discovery In Genel west of 2 barrel's showed a major first visible crude oil.
