Citation Resources Ltd will recommenced testing operations on the Atzam #5 well in mid July, with the perforating of 4 prospective C18 carbonate intervals located behind production casing above the final casing point at 3,600 feet.

This operation was undertaken with a larger 7 inch perforation gun sourced by Schlumberger from Mexico to enable more of the targeted carbonate sections to be opened up to the wellbore, to help evaluate the commercial flow rate potential of each zone.

The Atzam #5 testing operations on the C18 section started from around 3,500 feet, and perforated 4 zones of interest. Oil and reservoir water was produced whilst testing these perforated C18 zones both individually and comingled, but not at material commercial rates to put the well immediately on production.
