The Kitan-1 exploration well flowed at 6100 barrels of oil per day during intermittent testing, according to sources, and the probe has the potential to flow at rates in excess of those already achieved.
The well was drilled using the Norwegian semi-submersible drilling rig Songa Venus.
It is early days yet but the find will boost the prospects of a joint development with Kuda-Tasi and Jahal.
