Sound Oil is set to move forward with the testing phase of the latest appraisal of the Nervesa project after a well encountered a number of gas bearing intervals.
The Mediterranean focused upstream oil and gas company said the second Nervesa appraisal has reached total depth of 2,054 metres and logging is now also complete.
Mud log gas shows were recorded while drilling in the target reservoir zones within the Miocene San Dona formation.
The wireline logging confirmed the presence of various gas bearing levels.
Last month, the company received approval of its environmental impact assessment for the Nervesa field production concession.
