WesternZagros Resources Ltd. has completed the first two drill stem tests (DST #1 and DST #2) on the Kurdamir-3 well in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Because these tests had unexpected results, WesternZagros is providing this interim update before the testing program is complete.
The first Kurdamir-3 test, DST #1, was conducted in a non-porous zone at a depth below the deepest oil test conducted in the Oligocene at the Kurdamir-2 well. After acidizing, this test flowed oil and spent acid at non-commercial rates. The deepest oil now encountered in the Oligocene is 2,788 metres. DST #2 was then conducted over four low-permeability intervals further up-hole, also at depths below the deepest oil test in Kurdamir-2 and flowed a mix of light crude oil and water at low rates after acidizing. DST #2 gave the first evidence of formation water the Company has seen in the Oligocene reservoir at Kurdamir.
