GeoGlobal Provides Update on Sara-1 Exploration Drilling
CALGARY, ALBERTA, Oct 22, 2012 (Menafn - MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --GeoGlobal Resources Inc. ("GeoGlobal" or the "Company") (nyse mkt:GGR) GGR today announced that the Sara-1 explorationwell has reached a final Total Vertical Depth Subsea of 3,928 meters.Based on the cutting samples and logging performed during thedrilling, the Company encountered approximately 98 meters of highquality reservoir sands in the lower Miocene / upper Oligocene whichhad good porosity and permeability. Although there were indicationsthat gas has migrated through the system, the sands are wet with nocommercial quantities of hydrocarbons present.
Wire line logs confirmed residual gas saturation in the reservoirsuggesting hydrocarbon migration through the high quality sands.GeoGlobal is in the process of abandoning the Sara-1 explorationwell, which is expected to be completed by the end of October, atwhich point the Noble Homer Ferrington semi-submersible drill rigwill be released.
"We completed the drilling of Sara-1 exploration well within theplanned budget and timelines," said Paul B. Miller, President and CEOof GeoGlobal. "The result from the well did not meet our expectationsbut we believe there are additional prospects in the Myra and Saralicenses and the basin. The Company will use the information it hasacquired through these drilling operations to further refine thegeological model and evaluate the other potential targets in Myra andSara in conjunction with its partners. Having completed the workprograms in Myra and Sara the Company is now qualified as a DeepWater Operator in Israel. We intend to use this qualification to openup new opportunities to us in the basin and abroad."
