A8
Deep Well A8, is the third deep well drilled on the Airshagyl structure. We have in previous announcements referred to the existence of a 159-meter carbonate interval, from a depth of 4,342 meters, of which 52.5 meters is of porous oil-bearing rock.
We have agreed with our drilling contractor partner, Sinopec, to stop drilling the well at the current depth of 4,520 meters and to perforate the well across a 40-meter zone in the 52.5-meter interval of highest prospectivity.
Preparations are well underway and barring regulatory delays we anticipate the perforation exercise will take place in the next few weeks.
