摘要

The U.S. company Noble Energy, Inc. announced on 17 January that it had made a "significant" natural gas discovery in the Tamar prospect on the offshore Matan tract. Discovery well Tamar-1 was drilled in 5,500 feet of water and taken down to a total depth of 16,076 feet to test a subsalt Lower Miocene structure in the Levantine basin. Formation logs enabled more than 460 feet of net gas pay to be identified in three high-quality reservoirs. "The thickness and quality of the reservoirs encountered were greater than anticipated," the company indicated in a statement.
