Houston – October 12, 2026 -- VAALCO Energy (NYSE: EGY, LSE: EGY) has brought the Ebouri-5H development well online offshore Gabon at an initial rate above 8,000 gross barrels of oil per day (BOPD), or 4,700 BOPD net to the company, with very low water cut.
Ebouri-5H hits 300 meters of net pay in Gamba sands
The well was drilled at the top of the Ebouri structure with a 300-meter lateral of net pay in high-quality Gamba sands. VAALCO completed the well and placed it on production as part of its ongoing Gabon drilling campaign.
Rig moves to SEENT platform for two development wells
The rig has been mobilized to the SEENT platform, where VAALCO plans to drill two development wells. The first, ETBNM-3, is planned as a directionally drilled slant well adjacent to the GMF-1X discovery well. It targets gas and condensate resources in the Dentale D15 reservoir from the crest of the North Tchibala structure.
