In a statement, the firm said the well was drilled to a depth of 3,075 metres and that initial testing of the long and short strings resulted in production rates of 1,841 bopd and 1,450 bopd, respectively, with further testing and optimisation scheduled to take place over the coming weeks.
The Dzheitune (Lam) 28/136 development well is the third well to be completed from the refurbished Dzheitune (Lam) 28 platform.
