Byron starts up US offshore block
USA “Commencement of production is a watershed event for Byron,” said CEO Maynard V. Smith. “SM 71 is expected to generate significant cashflow and to broaden Byron’s investor appeal.”
Combined output from the first two wells drilled at the site, F1 and F2, was 4,000 bopd on March 25, the statement added. A third well, F3, is also nearing completion and the company expects to ramp up production from all three wells “significantly” in the near future.
