Sound Energy is to shut-in its new well on the Nervesa licence, offshore Italy, to carry out remedial work as it believes some of the reservoir levels are not in production.
The company said it plans a remedial re-perforation of selected layers of the reservoir.
Sound has completed the second static profile and confirmed a continued reduction in reservoir pressure, the company said.
It will also look at the possibility of a potential up-dip sidetrack of the well.
