Zhaikmunai LP confirmed production rates of 1,184 barrels of oil (b/o) from Well #24. These production rates exceeded expectations by 50%. Well #24 is in the northeastern part of its Chinarevskoye field, Kazakhstan.

The well had initial production rates, with wellhead pressure of 26 bars and at choke size of 18-mm, 1,184 barrels of crude oil per day (b/d), and 89,285 cu m of associated gas per day. The well targeted the Lower Carboniferous Tournaisian formation.

The production rates were obtained from relatively low permeability reservoir intervals. Preparation for the perforation of the high-permeability intervals of the reservoir is currently underway and will likely increase the production rates by some 25% to 45% to an expected 1,500 to 1,700 b/d.
