Exploration and Production ConocoPhillips holds interests in three fields located in Block 405a in Algeria.
The Menzel Lejmat North (MLN) field was discovered in 1996 and began producing in 2003. In 2005, the company approved the MLN expansion project, which is expected to increase field production and reserves through additional pressure maintenance. The expansion is scheduled for completion in 2007. As part of the project, development drilling continued during 2006 and concluded in 2007.
Development of the El Merk (EMK) area progressed with co-venturers forming the EMK Oil Field Unit in July 2005. The co-venturers have initiated engineering studies and drilling activities with six development wells drilled in 2006. The project is in the final stage of development planning with an EPC contract award expected in late 2007.
The Ourhoud field, discovered in 1996, began producing in 2002, with first official exports in 2003. The drilling program continued with eight wells completed in 2006. The preliminary phase of a field natural gas management scheme also was implemented to supplement the ongoing waterflood development.
