Max Petroleum Plc, an oil and gas company focused on Kazakhstan, is pleased to announce successful drilling results of an appraisal well in Sagiz West Field.
The SAGW-10 appraisal well has reached a depth of 1,400 metres with electric logs indicating 16 metres of net oil pay over a 24 metre gross interval in the Triassic Formation at vertical depths between 1,225 and 1,249 metres. Reservoir quality is very good with porosities ranging from 15% to 27%. The Company is setting production casing in the well and will begin testing SAGW-10 as soon as practicable.
The Zhanros ZJ-30 rig will next move to drill the SAGW-13 well which is designed to extend the southern limit of the field, one of two wells remaining in the current appraisal programme at Sagiz West.
