Kurdistan well flows
Published 10.03.2010 11:00:15 by John Bradbury
London-listed Gulf Keystone reported a new oil find in Kurdistan after drilling the Bijeel 1 exploration well.

Testing on an upper Jurassic zone produced a flow rate of 3,200 b/d of 18° API oil with associated gas, Gulf Keystone said today.

Bijeel 1 was drilled in Kurdistan's Akri Bijeel block by Kalegran Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of Hungary's MOL, which has an 80% stake in the block and the remainder of the equity is held by Gulf Keystone.

Drilling in the well will continue to a planned final depth of 4,400 metres (14,432 ft)t, depending on well results.
