The production testing of the Mississippi oil formation is also currently ongoing at this horizontal well.
According to the company, the well is being readied and prepared for the onset of commercial production.
This well is the first of a planned series of horizontal wells designed to test and develop oil and gas in the 100ft thick limestone Mississippi formation.
American Petro-Hunter is undertaking the completion phase of the well, including swab and production testing, in combination with the immediate installation of long term production facilities including a pumping unit, tank battery, ancillary metering and electrical equipment on the lease.
A decision to move ahead with a full completion program was initiated when NOM1H reached the engineered TD of the 1,600ft horizontal leg with excellent oil and gas shows encountered.
