The well is being drilled to a total planned depth of 1,500m to appraise the Arskum discovery and the Upper Jurassic formation in the south channel of the block.
The company’s operating partner LGI is coordinating the drilling operations, which are expected to take about 30 days.
Roxi Petroleum CEO David Wilkes said this is the next planned appraisal well on NW Konys that should firm up the company’s understanding of the amount of oil in place, as well as provide additional information on the reserves within the existing reservoir.
