DANA PETROLEUM HAS made a significant gas discovery at Anchois in the Tanger-Larache licence off Morocco. The Anchois-1 well lies about 40 km from the coast and was drilled to a total depth of 2435 m.
Preliminary estimates of reserves are around 100 bcf and Dana, together with its co-venturers, Repsol as the operator, Gas Natural and ONHYM have decided to suspend the well as a potential future producer. The joint venture group is now analysing all the data acquired before deciding on further exploration drilling in the Tanger Larache licence.
