Oryx Petroleum has completed in open hole partially penetrating the cretaceous reservoir in the Zey Gawra field in Iraqi Kurdistan.

 Production from the naturally flowing well is currently constrained to approximately 1,500 bbl/d of 35.5 degree API oil with a gas-oil ratio of approximately 3,000 scf/stb and less than 0.5 per cent water, with more than 1,500 psi well head pressure, reported Iraq Business Review.

The corporation intends to continue the extended production test of the well with the objective of assessing the well’s performance, identifying options for increasing production and obtaining information to refine plans for future development of the Zey Gawra field.
