The company intends to test and evaluate multiple target intervals for an estimated target depth of 4,000m.
This is the first well to be drilled with a second rig on the Miran eastern structure, which covers an area of about 130km2 and is contiguous with the Miran West field.
Drilling of Miran East-1 is expected to be completed in about seven months with multiple intervals to be evaluated and tested as the well is drilled.
Heritage Energy Middle East, a subsidiary of Heritage, is operator and 75% owner of the Miran Block with Genel Energy holding the remaining 25% interest, although there are third party back-in rights.
