Dragon Oil reports the completion and initial testing of the Dzheitune (Lam) 28/147 development well. The well, which is the second in a series of wells to be drilled from the Dzheitune (Lam) 28 platform, was drilled to a depth of 3,400 metres on a single completion basis by the NIS rig. The well was tested on a 24/64' choke and flowed at an initial rate of 2,451 bopd with a well head flowing pressure of 1450 psi.

The NIS rig has since skidded to the next slot on the Dzheitune (Lam) 28 platform and has spudded the Dzheitune (Lam) 28/149 well.

Dr Abdul Jaleel Al Khalifa, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am delighted to report the successful completion and initial testing of the Dzheitune (Lam) 28/147 development well, in addition to the spudding of the Dzheitune (Lam) 28/149 well. This brings the Company to a total of seven new development wells to date this year and we remain on target to complete 11 new wells in 2010.'
