JAWF Basin Discovery
The JAWF Basin discovery in Yemen stands as one of the signature achievements in Dolomite's principals' long careers — a basin-establishing event that transformed an underexplored region into a major producing area.
The JAWF Basin presented a complex but compelling geological case — requiring the kind of integrated seismic and stratigraphic analysis that only a seasoned geophysics team could confidently evaluate before committing exploration capital.
Led identification and drilling of the discovery well. The result was a major find: 300M+ barrels of recoverable oil and more than 2 Tcf of natural gas — a discovery that redefined the basin's commercial potential.
Following discovery, led development of production to 50,000 barrels per day — establishing the JAWF Basin as a producing area and transforming the operator's reserve base.
The JAWF discovery remains one of the highest-impact achievements in the team's careers — a testament to the geological insight and operator relationships that form the foundation of Dolomite's approach.
