Roxi, the Central Asian oil and gas company with a focus on Kazakhstan, is pleased to provide an operational update on its flagship BNG asset.

Well 143

As previously announced, Well 143 was spudded on 1 April 2013, on the MJ-F structure located towards the North of South Yelemes field at BNG.

This exploration well is targeted to encounter Jurassic Callovian sands at a depth of 2,170 metres with a secondary objective in the Cretaceous Valanginian limestone at a depth of 1,935 metres.

As the middle Jurassic section is also expected to be within 4-way dip closure in the MJ-F structure as well as the top Jurassic section, Roxi has decided to drill continuously to 2,750 metres, 250 metres deeper than the original planned depth of 2,500 metres.
