Faroe Petroleum is pleased to announce a successful Drill Stem Test (DST) on the 6406/12-3S Pil exploration well (Faroe 25%), drilled 33 kilometres from the Njord production facility (Faroe 7.5%) in the Norwegian Sea.

An extensive data acquisition programme was carried out in the 6406/12-3S well, including the gathering of core together with a full suite of wireline logs and a DST. During the recently completed DST the measured main period stable flow rate was 6,710 bopd from a 56/64" choke. Pressure measurements indicate a prolific reservoir capable of sustainably higher flow rates from future development wells than were achieved in the constrained DST.
