RockRose drills two wells at West Brae
Rockrose Energy Plc spudded the second of two infill development wells at West Brae in the central North Sea on the 9th March following completion of the first.
Production from the first well is delivering in line with expectations and first production from the second well is expected in this year’s second quarter.
Drilled by the Noble Houston Colbert jack-up drilling rig, the wells – designated WPGZ and WPOZ – are designed to access 2P reserves of over three million bbl and add net production of 2,500 b/d.
The wells are part of a seven-well development for 2020 aimed at enhancing production by over 8,500 b/d (net) this year and next. The company seeks to convert 2C resources to 2P reserves and deliver extended field life.
West Brae produces from the Upper Paleocene/Eocene Sele formation and the Eocene Balder formation.
RockRose is 40% owner and operator at West Brae. TAQA Bratani, a wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC, will assume operatorship of the Greater Brae Area from RockRose subject approval by the Secretary of State.
