Bahrain plans to shortly start drilling deeper in the Bahrain Field as
it seeks to discover additional quantities of natural gas there, state-run
Kuwait News Agency, or Kuna, reports Thursday citing Bahraini Energy Minister
Abdul Hussain Mirza.
The drilling will be carried out through agreements with some international
companies and the decision to drill at greater depths follows a proposal by a
consultancy firm to drill deeper than existing 16,000-foot wells, he said.
The country's average daily production of natural gas is about 1.3 million
cubic feet a day but the gas production capacity of the Bahrain Field will
increase beyond current levels, Mirza told the news agency.
Boosting production is part of a development and production sharing agreement
signed between
Bahrain
's
National Oil and Gas Authority, U.S.-based Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) and
the
United Arab Emirates
'
Mubadala Development Co., he told Kuna.
