Heritage Oil’s Miran West-3 well, in Kurdistan, Iraq, had a flow rate of 17.5 million cu ft of dry gas per day.
The well is currently at a depth of 10,039 ft (3,060 m) and testing operations of a high-pressure reservoir interval encountered above the main Jurassic reservoir have completed. This gas-bearing interval is proven to be a separate reservoir from those identified to date within the Miran structure. Technical work is being undertaken to understand further the distribution of this reservoir interval using existing well data and recently processed 3D seismic.
Following testing, drilling has recommenced in order to appraise the main Jurassic reservoir intervals, which are the primary targets of this well. Further tests are planned and drilling is expected to be completed within the next month.
