Gulfsands Petroleum has found gas at its DOB-1 well in Morocco in the Sebou onshore permit, the Office of Hydrocarbons and Mining said in a statement.

The well was drilled at 1,127 m depth and flowed at 175,500 cu m per day during four hours, the statement said. The well has been suspended pending future production.

It is the third gas discovery for Gulfsands in Morocco. The company said in January its DRC-1 well in the same area had found a gas bearing reservoir, following a gas find at its LTU-1 well in the middle of last year.-Reuters
