Sound Energy Spuds Appraisal Well in Onshore Morocco
Morocco: Sound
Energy commenced the drilling of the second well named TE-7 at Tendrara,
onshore Morocco on 25th August 2016 with objective of proving
sufficient gas volume in the reservoir and to demonstrate benefits of
sub-horizontal drilling in the region. The well is expected to be drilled, completed,
and tested initially in a period of 94 days. The initial testing would be
followed by an extended test to confirm the production sustainability as part
of comprehensive field development plan.
TechSci Research depicts that
the company’s drilling campaign in Onshore Morocco with further drilling activities
as part of field development plan would lead to increased market for natural
gas compressors. Gas transmission applications are typically powered by a
reciprocating engine fueled by natural gas.
According
to TechSci Research report, “Global Natural Gas Compressors Market
By Technology, By Application, By Region, Competition Forecast and
Opportunities, 2011 - 2021”, the global natural gas compressors market is anticipated to
cross USD5.5 billion by 2021. Based on technology, natural gas compressors are
segmented into two categories - positive displacement compressors and dynamic
compressors. Among these categories, positive displacement compressors form the
most preferred natural gas compressors category, predominantly due to their low
cost and increasing use in gas gathering and processing.
