Dragon Oil’s Dzheitune (Lam) C/170 well on the Dzheitune field in the Caspian Sea offshore Turkmenistan had an initial production rate of 2,072 barrels of oil per day (b/d).

The well was completed as a dual producer to a depth of 2,730 m (8,956 ft). The drilling rig has skidded to the next slot and spudded the Dzheitune (Lam) C/173 well.

The Dzheitune (Lam) 13/171 well is under completion testing and evaluation; further rigless optimization will be performed on the well. At the moment, the well is yielding limited production. The drilling rig has been moved to the Dzheitune (Lam) 13/144 existing well to perform a sidetrack.

The Dzheitune (Lam) 28/169 well was re-tested following further optimization, and yielded incremental production of over 300 b/d to reach a test rate of 2,097 b/d. Rigless testing was performed once the well was completed to allow the drilling rig to spud the next well on time.

The Dzheitune (Lam) 28/172 well was drilled to a depth of 2,007 m (6,584 ft) and completed as a single producer. The well tested for initial production at 1,976 b/d. The drilling rig has been moved to the next slot and has spudded the Dzheitune (Lam) 28/174 well.
