Africa-focused SDX Energy said Monday it achieved success at an emerging natural gas reservoir that could be in production by the fourth quarter. The company in June announced the discovery of natural gas at a site in the South Disouq license dubbed SD-4X. On Monday, SDX said flow tests were carried out with few interruptions or complications. "We intend to connect this well to infrastructure located adjacent to our SD-1X discovery over the coming months," Paul Welch, President and CEO of SDX, said in a statement.

SDX posted revenue on March 31 of $11 million, up 35 percent from the same period last year. The company in 2017 paid $28.1 million to take over the Egyptian and Moroccan businesses of Circle Oil.
