Cheiron starts up second phase at Egypt’s GNN field

Cheiron Energy has begun producing at its GNN oilfield in Egypt’s Gulf of Suez via an early production facility (EPF). Initial production from the field came via a platform.

The field is in the Geisum and Tawila West concession. Cheiron has a 60% stake, via Pico GoS, and is the operator. Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Co. (Kufpec) holds the remaining 40%.

The GNN-6 was the first well to start producing via the EPF, with output of around 4,200 barrels per day. It will follow this with the completion of two more wells that have already been drilled, GNN-3 and GNN-8. Subsequently, it will drill up to four more wells at the site.
