Output progress in Kurdistan
O
ryx Petroleum has provided a production and drilling update for the Demir Dagh field in the Hawler license area in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, where operations are said to have been largely unaffected by security issues in northern Iraq. Oryx Petroleum is operator and has a 65% participating and working interest in the Hawler licence area. It says gross (100%) production at the Demir Dagh field is currently approximately 4000 b/d. Two cased-hole drill stem tests were successfully conducted at DD-6 in the Cretaceous res-
ervoirs with a maximum sustained natural flow rate of approximately 700 b/d of oil using a 16/64-in choke. Similar crude qualities were encountered as tested in the Cretaceous reservoirs at other Demir Dagh wells. Meantime the Demir Dagh-7 well is to be spudded in the coming weeks and is expected to reach a total depth in Q3 2014. Three additional development wells are to be drilled in 2014 as deviated wells to Lower Cretaceous reservoirs Preparation work for the acquisition of 440 km2 of 3D seismic data over the Demir Dagh, Banan and Zey Gawra discoveries began in June 2014
