Apache plans 270 wells in Egypt
HOUSTON, March 5 (UPI) -- U.S. energy explorer Apache Corp. said recent success in Egypt gave it the confidence to plan for more than 200 wells there this year.
Apache, which has headquarters in Houston, said it tested production at the Amoun NE-1X discovery at the combined rate of 3,186 barrels of oil and condensate and 11 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. Apache said it was planning to drill 270 wells, of which more than 60 would be exploration wells, in Egypt.
Thomas Maher, Apache's general manager for Egypt, said the latest discoveries confirm there are "multiple opportunities" to take advantage of the exploration and development potential in Egypt.
