More good news for Xcite

North Sea oilfields operator Xcite Energy said its 9/3b-6z well on the Bentley field has been successfully suspended for potential future use as a production well.In addition to the successful well flow test announced on 21 December 2010, high quality down hole pressure, temperature and sample data has been safely recovered following a 36 hour shut in and build up period after the flow test.Analysis and interpretation of this data will now commence, potentially enabling a reserves report to be issued in due course. The company added that the Ocean Nomad drilling rig is off hire from the Bentley field location.
