Kazakhstan-focused exploration firm Max Petroleum says it has finished drilling its latest development well in the country’s Borkyldakty field.
The well successfully hit a 31m net oil pay, after being drilled to a total depth of 1609m. The company said the find was in line with expectations.
Production will start on the well as soon as practical, with the Zhanroz ZJ-20 rig now moving to drill an appraisal well at Baichonas West.
