Update on Tawke PSC
Genel Energy plc ('Genel') notes that DNO ASA, as operator of the Tawke PSC (Genel 25% working interest), has today
issued an update on licence activity.
Gross operated production from the Tawke licence averaged 110,300 bopd in 2020, about evenly split between the Tawke
and Peshkabir fields, the sixth consecutive year in which gross Tawke licence production has averaged over 100,000
bopd.
With higher oil prices and more visibility on Kurdistan export payments, up to eight new development wells will be
drilled at the Tawke licence and multiple workovers on existing producing wells will be undertaken in the drive to
maintain production above 100,000 bopd.
Between the middle of 2020 and the end of the year, a total of 2.4 bcf of Peshkabir field gas, which otherwise would
have been flared, was piped and reinjected into the Tawke field for pressure maintenance, leading to an estimated
200,000 barrels of incremental oil recovery and 400,000 barrels of reduced field water production. Another 0.3 bcf of
gas were reinjected into the Peshkabir field itself.
Genel will issue a trading and operations update tomorrow, 19 January.
