Tethys completes testing of exploration well in Oman

Exploration & Production

Tethys has announced its production testing of the exploration well B4EW4 on Block 4, onshore Oman, has been completed

The well flowed at a combined rate of close to 3,000 bopd on a 36/64-inch choke from the Buah and Khufai sections, and will now undergo a long-term production test.

Magnus Nordin, managing director of Tethys, said, "We are delighted with the results of this exploration well and are looking forward to gain more data on this new discovery from the long-term production test.

"The ongoing 3D seismic survey on the block has been extended to also cover the B4EW4 structure."

The B4EW4 well was spudded in November 2012 and was drilled to a final total depth of 3,030 metres.
