The well flowed over three days at a rate of up to 25,000 meters cubed per day.

The well on the Suceava concession was targeting an exploration prospect analogue to the company’s Cimauti gas field.

Drilling started late last month and reached target depth in early December, with mud and wire logs analysed shortly after drilling.

The well was then cased and perforated before test flows were observed, with a good quality of conventional natural gas flowing from the Sarmatian sandstone reservoir.
