In 2021, Panafrican Energy Services Group (PESG) successfully executed a critical Slickline project for Petroci CI-11, marking a pivotal moment in the enhancement of Côte d’Ivoire’s oil and gas sector. This collaboration on the Gulftide oilfield not only met but surpassed the project’s targets, cementing PESG’s reputation as a key player in Africa’s energy landscape.
Project Overview
The Slickline intervention was part of Petroci CI-11’s broader objective to extend the operational life of the CI-11 block, which includes the Lion and Panthère fields discovered in 1984. Petroci CI-11 aimed to maximize hydrocarbon recovery, improve operational efficiency, and secure production until 2040. PESG was tasked with performing essential Slickline services on several wells, focusing on both productivity and safety.
Key Achievements
PESG’s contributions to this project resulted in an increase of 280 barrels of oil per day and the addition of 2 million cubic feet of gas to Petroci CI-11’s output. These numbers weren’t just a testament to technical excellence but also a demonstration of the effectiveness of PESG’s operational approach. The project was completed with zero accidents or incidents, underscoring PESG’s commitment to safety and operational integrity.
Unmatched Expertise and Collaboration
The success of the CI-11 project was driven by the close collaboration between PESG and Petroci CI-11. The combined efforts of teams in Abidjan and at the Gulftide oilfield proved vital in overcoming challenges and achieving stellar results. PESG’s deep understanding of well intervention services and local operational dynamics allowed for seamless execution, even in a highly competitive and technically demanding environment.
A Cost-Effective Solution
Despite the complexity of the project, PESG managed to control costs effectively, delivering the project within budget while maintaining the highest quality and safety standards. The financial efficiency demonstrated in this project highlights PESG’s ability to manage resources effectively and its commitment to providing cost-effective solutions to its clients.
Beyond Numbers: A Deeper Impact
The Slickline project with Petroci CI-11 was not just about improving production metrics; it was a shared success that strengthened the relationship between PESG and Petroci CI-11. Through this project, PESG was able to deepen its understanding of the CI-11 wells, positioning itself for future collaborations aimed at maximizing the field’s potential.
Moreover, the project underscored PESG’s role in enhancing local content in Côte d’Ivoire’s oil and gas sector. By leveraging its local and international expertise, PESG helped extend the operational lifespan of the CI-11 fields, contributing to the country’s economic development and energy security.
Conclusion
The successful Slickline project at the Petroci CI-11 block in 2021 is a prime example of how Panafrican Energy Services Group is transforming Africa’s oil and gas sector. By combining technical expertise, cost-effective solutions, and a deep understanding of the local market, PESG is helping its clients achieve their production and sustainability goals.
This success story not only reinforces PESG’s position as a trusted partner in the African energy industry but also reflects its broader mission to contribute to Côte d’Ivoire’s oil and gas development and secure long-term energy production.
At PESG, we are proud to have played a pivotal role in the success of the CI-11 Slickline project and look forward to continuing our partnership with Petroci CI-11 and other energy operators across the continent.
