Dragon Oil Plc. successfully tested the Dzheitune (Lam) 13/163 development well in Turkmenistan at a flow rate of 296 barrels of oil per day (b/d).

The Dzheitune (Lam) 13/163 well was completed with a single string to a depth of 2,703 m (8,920 ft) by Rig 40 in December 2011.

Additional data and analysis led to re-completing the well in different reservoir intervals, resulting in an improved production rate of 1,584 b/d.

The rig has skidded to the Dzheitune (Lam) 13/144B well to work it over.
