VAALCO Energy cuts costs with new gas well in Gabon, boosting operations efficiency.

VAALCO Energy successfully drilled and completed the ETBNM-3 gas well in offshore Gabon, providing enough gas to power field operations and reduce reliance on expensive diesel fuel. The well's reservoir properties exceeded expectations, and further evaluation is ongoing for additional pay intervals. Drilling continues with a new pilot hole ETSEM-3PH aimed at testing oil potential, followed by a horizontal development well. This development is expected to lower operational costs and potentially increase production over time, supporting VAALCO's strategy to grow production and shareholder value.
