zardab - were we are..

As announced on May 8, 2018, Zenith has pulled out a mixed string, comprised of 2 3/8" and 2 7/8" tubing, totalling 3,504 metres, as well as all of the 4 5" tubing, totalling 1,500 metres, using its A-80 workover rig. Â In addition, in the period since the aforementioned update, 111 metres of tubing from 3,504-3,615 metres has been successfully cleaned out. Zenith has been unable to run wash pipe beyond the depth of 3,615 metres to fish the remaining 166 metres of 2 3/8" tubing in the wellbore due to an unforeseen change in the tubing diameter. The change in tubing diameter was undocumented in any Z-21 well data.
The Company now intends to pull the entire tubing string out of the well. It has been determined that a more powerful rig will be required to perform the task. Once this is completed, Zenith's field personnel plans to run in hole with a drill bit and clean out the casing to the well's total depth, 3,982 metres, and subsequently perform a production test.
once this is complete they will then begin milling ops at z28....

a coiled tubing intervention successfully cleaned out the well to a depth of 3,583 metres but was unable to clean out the tubing to total depth due to obstructions. As a result, the Company will mill out 69 metres of tubing from 3,577 to 3,646 metres and then clean out the well to total depth, 3,944 metres.
The rig should be onsite within 90 days from the date of the signing. This was 6th June - 26 days ago.

As was announced on January 25, 2018, the Company has signed a purchase agreement for an A-100 truck-mounted workover rig. This was purchased using the funds raised from Zenith's UK placing, announced on January 24, 2018. The Company can confirm that the construction of the rig's mast and substructure is ongoing at a factory located approximately 2 hours from the Company's field locations, whilst awaiting delivery of the carrier which has already been manufactured. Zenith's engineers have decided to reconfigure some of the technical features of the rig structure to bring it in line with Western standards. As a result, delivery is now expected in June 2018.
We await news of both rigs and work continuing where they left off.

"It has been a long journey to arrive at where we are at now. Our understanding of the field and its vast potential is increasing day by day. Z-21 has the potential to be the most significant operation for the Company since it began operations in Azerbaijan. We are working day and night to achieve the resounding success we all deserve. I look forward to reporting on our progress in due course."
and from another update.
Strategically, our attention will now gradually broaden towards drilling new wells that will enable us to produce our very large reserves. Success in the Zardab field will be a fitting prelude to our planned development drilling activities scheduled to begin later this year."
