Kazakhstan-focused Roxi Petroleum has declared a new deep find on a license area 40 km (25 miles) southeast of the giant Tengiz Field.
Roxi originally declared a deep discovery on its BNG contract area in Kazakhstan with its Deep Well A5 earlier this month after detecting oil and gas shows at a depth of 4,332 m (14,208 ft) from which a 12 m (39 ft) core sample was taken. Subsequently the company said a second core sample proved an oil-bearing interval extending to at least 33 m (108ft), and a third core sample of 18m (59 ft) has shown that the aggregate thickness of an oil-bearing interval extends to at least 51 m (167 ft).
After further drilling and logging the company says in a news release that it intends to subject the A5 well to a flow test.
