The latest of Max Petroleum’s wells in its Sagiz West field development programme has been successfully appraised, the Kazakhstan-focused company has reported.
The SAGW-13 well has reached a depth of 1,577 metres with electric logs indicating six metres of net oil pay in the Triassic Formation, judged a “fair quality” reservoir.
The logs have also indicated another 26 metres of potentially productive reservoir at greater depths which have not yet been characterised as net oil pay.
The SAGW-13 is located two km southwest of SAGW-4, making it Max Petroleum’s most southern well drilled in the field to date.
The company is setting production casing in the well before beginning testing as it moves its drilling focus to its final remaining appraisal well in the field, the SAGW-7.
