Successful exploration well Ahlem-1 in the Jenein Sud exploration permit
Promising cumulative flow rate of the tested formations amounts to 3,500 bbl/d of condensate and 120 mn cf/d (20,000 boe/d) of gas
Plans for drilling of further wells and additional 3D seismic acquisition

OMV Aktiengesellschaft, the leading oil and gas group in Central Europe, announces the discovery and successful testing of condensate and gas in its Ahlem-1 exploration well in the Jenein Sud exploration permit in Southern Tunisia. This is the third successful discovery in the permit within the last two years and highlights the potential of this block, which is operated by OMV (Tunesien) Exploration GmbH. The exploration well reached a total depth of 4,020 m and encountered a total of 36 m net gas and condensate pay in several layers at depths ranging from 3,700 m to 3,980 m. Further exploration and appraisal activities are planned in the area, including the acquisition of 3D seismic and drilling of additional wells.
