DualEx Energy Int'l (DXE-V) and Africa Hydrocarbons (NFK-V) suspends testing of BHN-1 well Nov 22, 2013 - News Release Africa Hydrocarbons Inc. has provided an operational update regarding its BHN-1 exploration well on the Bouhajla permit in northeastern Tunisia, where the company has a 47.5-per-cent working interest.The operator, DualEx Energy International Inc., has attempted to complete three separate intervals of the Abiod formation. These intervals were chosen based on log data interpretations suggesting the intervals had the highest occurrence of natural fractures, higher matrix porosity and hydrocarbon saturations. Following perforating, attempts were made to inject acid into the formation to clean up the near-wellbore zone and enhance the reservoir's natural permeability. The acid injections could not be completed, suggesting the perforation of the wellbore was ineffective. As a result, the operator acquired additional log data and is planning further diagnostic measures to ascertain whether the wellbore was perforated as expected. The wellbore will now be suspended while awaiting the arrival of wellbore imaging equipment into the country, which is expected within 30 days. The operational issues regarding the completion will delay the evaluation of BHN-1; however, the company believes this unexpected result needs to be thoroughly investigated in order to resolve the problem for the next completion attempt if the analysis indicates the absence of effective perforations.
