The company had initially planned to drill nine development wells in this Block.
The Well KSG-71 is under testing with various chokes from 6mm to 8 mm and the initial rate of oil production is about 250 barrels per day.
In further progress, the second well, KSG-72, has also been spud in the block, marking a significant resumption of drilling activities in this area after a 12-year interval.
The Well KSG-71 will be hooked up for production immediately with optimum choke after the completion of well testing.
