Rockhoppers begins Jahraa 6 oil production in Egypt’s Abu Sennan concession

UK’s Rockhopper Exploration began production from its Jahraa 6 oil well in the Western Desert’s Abu Sennan concession, bringing the concession to 3,800 bopd, the company said in a statement (pdf). Rockhopper has a 22% interest in the concession and is owed arrears of USD c. 1.9 mn from the EGPC, the company was sure to note. The company said last year its operations in Egypt are stable and is continuing to see reductions in its arrears.
