Chinook Energy Inc. provide the initial flow rates from the TT-16 horizontal well.

The initial horizontal test well of the Ordovician reservoir on the Bir Ben Tartar (BBT) concession began production testing on July 15, 2012.

Over the first six days (July 15 to July 21) the flow period was interrupted by attempts to circulate sand and clean the wellbore to its full length and included periods where wellbore energy was assisted by nitrogen injection, and as a result the flow rates over that period are not representative of well performance.
