Yes but to be fair they had to take a step backwards to move forward profitably...
Production Update
The Company's focus remains maximising the profitability of its assets on behalf of shareholders. Accordingly, the Company's operational team has taken the decision to shut-in 31 production wells in the Muradhkhanli and Jafarli oilfields that were performing uneconomically with an average water cut of 99 per cent.
As a result, the Company currently has a total of 34 active production wells producing an average daily production of approximately 300 barrels. The decision was taken after an extensive cost analysis evaluation. This determined that it was contrary to the financial interests of the Company to continue producing the aforementioned 31 wells. In total, the Company, as previously announced to the market, has 75 wells capable of production.
Going forward, the Company will systematically review each of the shut-in wells as part of its work programme, with the intention of seeking to increase production, either by recompleting to different zones, or by shutting off the excess water production.
