Encouraging Roxi finds in Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan Analysis of drilling fluids from Deep Well 801, located in the BNG block, revealed traces of gas condensate that indicate oil-bearing potential, Roxi Petroleum said in a statement. The well targets the same Lower Carboniferous structure as Airshagyl, the first probe at the asset.
“Accordingly a core sample is being taken at a depth of between 4,646 and 4,664 metres to assess to the extent, if any, of indications of oil-bearing rock at this interval,” the company said.
The ongoing second probe is now a depth of 4,649 metres, in the Lower Permian.
