FAR与其合资子公司仍在根据塞内加尔海域SNE深水油田钻探的评价井估算储量。SNE-2、SNE-3、BEL-1、SNE-4和SNE发现井的钻探位置贯穿工区南北向(BEL-1至SNE-3)九公里,东西向(SNE-4)五公里。所有油井的油柱高度粗略估计有100m(328ft)高,API为32°,并且主要储层覆盖全区。此外,SNE-2和SNE-3通过流体测试得出了油井产率。FAR打算在明年初仍在工区钻探评价井以确定储量、上部储层之间的连通性、测试以前未进行测试的储层并确定第一阶段的开发程度。

MELBOURNE, Australia – FAR and its joint venture partners continue to evaluate results from appraisal wells on the deepwater SNE oil field offshore Senegal.SNE-2, SNE-3, BEL-1, SNE-4, and the SNE discovery well, were drilled over an area stretching 9 km in a north-south direction (BEL-1 to SNE-3) and 5 km to the east (SNE-4).All the wells confirmed a roughly 100-m (328-ft) gross oil column, high-quality 32° API oil, and the presence and correlation of principal reservoir units across the field.In addition, flow tests from SNE-2 and SNE-3 indicated the potential for commercially viable well production rates.FAR expects appraisal drilling will resume on the field in early 2017, the aims being to confirm volumes and assess the connectivity of the upper reservoirs; to evaluate reservoirs not previously tested; and to improve definition and scale of the first-phase development.

阿曼油气部副部长Salim Al Aufi在Times of Oman采访时表示:阿曼Khazzan tight gas天然气项目按计划将于今年第四季度出产首批天然气。油井钻探完毕后,工厂将于六月投入运行,至八月,一个天然气加工系统将开始运营,随后将有更多生产系统投产。商业生产初期将钻探50口油井,总计划为钻探300口以上。该项目2014年开始运行,建成后将为阿曼供应大约三分之一的天然气。BP Oman是该项目的主要合作合伙,拥有该项目60%利益,而Oman Oil Company Exploration & Production拥有其余40%利益。
Royale Energy, Inc. (OTCQB:ROYL) Royale and privately held Matrix Oil Corporation jointly announced today that they have entered into a Letter of Intent to merge in a combined stock and assumption of debt transaction. The $41.5 million transaction remains subject to completion of due diligence reviews and customary definitive documentation and the approval of the shareholders of both companies. The companies seek to complete the merger in the fourth quarter of 2016.
With oil and gas properties in the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Los Angeles Basins of California and the Permian Basin of Texas, Matrix brings to Royale an experienced technical and operations team along with a producing property set with substantial development upside. As of March 31, 2016, Matrix had total proved reserves of 12.2 million barrels of oil equivalent with a PV10 value of $102.8 million based on SEC Pricing. The Matrix reserve report prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. includes over 80 proven undeveloped drilling locations mostly in the Los Angeles Basin. At closing, the combined company should have estimated daily production of approximately 650 barrels of oil equivalents per day. The company will retain the Royale Energy name with Matrix becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Royale. Matrix will continue to operate from its current Santa Barbara, CA office.
'This combination of two great California companies is a persuasive value proposition for each company's shareholders. The combination of Royale's great shareholder base and 30-year operating history, with Matrix's strong management team, technical expertise, current production and solid reserve base provides our company with the catalyst we needed for strong continuous growth,' said Harry Hosmer, founder and Chairman of Royale. 'This transaction will strengthen us financially and strategically position us for further acquisitions. In addition, this transaction places us squarely on the path for qualification and timely application to re-list on NASDAQ.'
'Matrix is looking forward to closing this transaction and becoming an integral part of Royale's future. Being a part of a publicly traded company brings us the long term capital optionality required to unlock the exceptional reserve base Matrix has built over the last 17 years. With our recent acquisition of Sansinena Field, Matrix now controls over 40 million barrels of 3P reserves along the Whittier Fault in eastern Los Angeles County,' said Johnny Jordan, President of Matrix. 'Our founders and major stakeholders are all committed to closing this transaction and being a part of a unified California oil and gas focused growth story.'
