Oil Search reports that at 06:00 hours KRI time on 23 July 2014, the Taza 2 well was at a total depth of 4,200 metres in a 6-1/8' hole.

During the week, having seen encouraging hydrocarbon shows towards the base of the previously drilled section, a further 102 metres was drilled to the final total depth of 4,200 metres.

Wireline logs are currently being acquired over the new section of hole and preparations are underway for a comprehensive testing programme, likely to comprise drill stem tests over up to five intervals.
