Drilling Activity Summary
Description
UK Oil & Gas announced that it will drill appraisal well #3-Basur to assess the commercial viability of the Basur-Resan oil pool discovered in the 1950s-1960s. The primary objectives are the naturally fractured and limestone rocks—Cretaceous-age Garzan and Mardin, which are productive in the Sadak oil field, about 20 km to the southeast and along the same geological anticlinal trend. The well is expected to test the northwestern structural culmination of the Basur-Resan geological structure. The structure is approximately 1.2 km to the north and geologically updip from the 1964 oil discovery at #1-Basur. UK Oil & Gas is based London.
