Drilling away: Addax Petroleum in Kurdistan
Addax joy at Taq Taq
Addax Petroleum has hit a 52 metre oil column during appraisal drilling of the Eocene Pila Spi formation in the Taq Taq field in Kurdistan, Iraq.
“We believe that the TT-11 well has demonstrated that the Pila Spi formation is a viable reservoir substantiating further appraisal activity,” said the company in a statement.
Following additional appraisal work the company will develop this part of the Taq Taq field primarily to supply local markets in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The TT-11 well flow tested at 470 barrels per day.
The TT-11 well is the second dedicated Pila Spi well in the Taq Taq field.
