Chariot Updates Drilling on Lixus Offshore License

Wednesday, September 11, 2024

Chariot has issued an update regarding the Anchois-3 well currently being drilled at the Anchois gas project in the Lixus Offshore license, offshore Morocco.

Chariot confirms that operations in respect of the Anchois-3 well are ongoing. The main Hole (Anchois-3ST) operations are under way as per the operational plan. Preliminary interpretation indicates the presence of gas bearing reservoirs in the B sands, being an appraisal objective of the well and further detailed work will be needed to understand the impact of these results. Drilling operations continue to evaluate deeper appraisal and exploration objectives.

The primary objective of the initial Pilot Hole was to evaluate the upside exploration potential of reservoirs in the Anchois Footwall prospect, which were found but are interpreted to be water bearing. This hole was plugged and abandoned prior to sidetracking and drilling the Main Hole.

Energean holds a 45% stake and is operator, while Chariot holds 30%, and ONHYM 25%.
