The well flowed at an average gas rate of 7.1million standard cubic feet per day, in a six-hour period, on a 32/64th choke with stable well head pressure of 1230 pounds per square inch.
The COFOR drilling rig will now be moved to the Douar Ouled Balkhair (DOB-1) location, where gas exploration well DOB-1 will be spudded later this month.
Operations on the DOB-1 well are anticipated to take 28 days to complete.
The DRC-1 well will be linked to existing local infrastructure to commence gas production for sale in the coming months.
Gulfsands Petroleum CEO Mahdi Sajjad said: "We are very pleased with the flow result from well DRC-1, the performance of which is consistent with the apparent excellent quality of the reservoir observed from drilling and wire line log information.
"We look forward to receiving the results from our next exploration well in the Rharb Centre Permit over the next few weeks."
The Rharb drilling program is focusing on a series of shallow gas anomalies discovered in the Rharb Centre permit as Miocene-aged fans and channel sands at depths of 1,000m to 1,650m.
