Successful perforation of well C-26 in Azerbaijan
Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Company") (LSE: ZEN; TSX.V:
ZEE), the dual listed international oil & gas production
company operating the largest onshore oilfield in Azerbaijan, is
pleased to announce the successful perforation of a new,
unexploited production zone in well C-26 in the Jafarli field.
Following the perforation, well C-26 is flowing at a rate of 70
BOPD. It is important to note that well C-26 was previously not
producing.
The successful perforation was undertaken following the
identification of 10 metres of unexploited payzone between the
depth of 3618-3628 metres in the Middle Eocene geological
structure.
This operation is part of the Company's strategy, announced on
September 6, 2017, to identify and perforate new productive zones
in a number of underperforming wells with significant untapped
production potential.
Mike Palmer, Chief Operating Officer, Zenith Aran, the Company's
Azerbaijan-based fully owned subsidiary, commented:
"This is a very positive development that confirms the strong
potential of our rehabilitation operations in Azerbaijan. The
identification and perforation of new production zones in a number
of underperforming wells is a very important part of Zenith Aran's
field development strategy between now and March 31, 2018.
It is particularly important to note that well C-26 was not
producing and that we have achieved a very significant increase in
daily production revenue from this well, from 0 BOPD to 70
BOPD.
I very much look forward to implementing other parts of our
field rehabilitation programme announced yesterday, specifically
the workover of Z-28 in the Zardab field. This will be our most
technically demanding well intervention so far, but equally
potentially the most rewarding."
