Condor Petroleum Inc. reported the successful flow test of the Taskuduk West-3 well. The well is located on the Zharkamys West 1 contract territory in Kazakhstan's Pre-Caspian basin.

The Taskuduk West-3 well tested at a stabilized oil rate of 300 barrels per day during well cleanup operations and up to 580 barrels per day initially. A 5 meter net pay interval (1,115 meters to 1,120 meters) was perforated and yielded 35 degree API gravity oil with no water production. Previously, a separate 5 meter net pay interval (1,102 meters to 1,107 meters) tested at a stabilized oil rate of 220 barrels per day.

The fluid and flow data information acquired during the initial flow periods will be used in the design of longer term production tests for the Taskuduk West field. For the production testing, a downhole pump is expected to be installed at Taskuduk West-3, thereby enhancing these initial production flow rates.
