Max Petroleum has reached a total vertical depth of 997 m (3,271 ft) with its ZMA-E7 development well in the Zhana Makat Field in Kazakhstan, encountering hydrocarbons in Jurassic sandstone reservoirs in line with expectations, according to a company news release. Max plans to complete the well and place it on production as soon as practicable.
The Zhanros ZJ-30 rig will next be mobilized to the Zhana Makat main camp where it will be stacked to ensure it is ready to drill the ZMA-E8 well once regulatory permission to drill the well is granted, expected in the third quarter of this year.
