Sound Energy confirmed gas discoveries while drilling its third TE-8 gas well in the Tendrara license area in eastern Morocco. The news comes after the company announced recent success at the company’s first two Tendrara wells (TE-6 and TE-7). These gas discoveries put Morocco on track to become a player in the gas market. The wells discovered by Sound Energy are expected to be pumping gas by 2019. Last December, Sound Energy PLC won regulatory approval from Moroccan authorities to take control of 75% interest in the Sidi Mokhtar onshore licenses.
