Annual Report 2008 - Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines

Tselfat permit (TransAtlantic)
This American company acquired 175 sq km of
3D seismic data in early 2008. The conclusive
results of geological and geophysical studies
have led to the positioning of 4 wells HR 33-34-
35 and 36, with a depth of about 1000 m each
on Haricha zone. The drillings are expected to
be implemented in 2009.
Tendrara permits (MPE)
MPE works on these permits focused on long
term tests of TE-5 well and on the interpretation
of reprocessed 2D seismic data. New play
concepts and Triassic petroleum prospects
have been delineated on the north western
zones.
Ounara Est and Ouest permits (MPE)
Following the reprocessing and interpretation
of older seismic data, new play concepts have
been developed and new Triassic and Jurassic
prospects have been identified. A work program
is under negotiation in view of concluding a new
agreement.
Missour Est reconnaissance zone (MPE)
In this zone, MPE Company carried on seismic
processing to complete the petroleum potential
evaluation.
Missour Ouest reconnaissance zone (MND)
MND started the first field surveys bearing on
sedimentological studies and geochemical
analyses and is now reprocessing the older
seismic data.
Activity Report 2008
Boudenib permit and Ouarzazate
reconnaissance zone (MND)
MND acquired 45 562 km of airborne magnetic/
gravity lines followed by the implementation
of a detailed land gravimetric survey of 2 578
stations.
On the other hand, MND undertook the
processing of 2 443 km of 2D seismic lines
covering Boudenib and Ouarzazate basins.
The interpretation of magnetic, gravimetric and
seismic data is under way.
Tadla and Haut Atlas reconnaissance zone
(Hunt Oil)
Hunt Oil acquired in Tadla zone, on the
northern borders of the High Atlas, 60 sq km
of 3D seismic data. The preliminary results
arising from the interpretation of these data
proved encouraging. On the High Atlas
reconnaissance zone, works included the
structural interpretation of satellite images and
field geological surveys in an effort to define
the tectonic style and the compounds of the
petroleum system in the region.
