Africa Hydrocarbons has announced that recompletion operations of the Abiod limestone in its BHN-1 well on the Bouhajla Permit in Tunisia have concluded and the well will be plugged and abandoned.
John Nelson, CEO of the Company stated ‘All reasonable attempts to determine the hydrocarbon potential of the BHN-1 well were undertaken.
The perforation and acid stimulation were completed as planned but no hydrocarbons were recovered suggesting the fractures encountered at BHN-1 are not open and effectively connected, which was the primary risk at BHN-1.
Despite the disappointment, the results of the BHN-1 well does not affect the prospectivity of the remaining structures and plays contained on the block.’
