The well, designed to appraise the reservoir and fluid properties of Middle Isongo and to explore the additional potential of the Intra Isongo, was drilled to a target depth of 3,430 metres in water depths of around 56 metres.
"The results from the IM-5 well continue to please," said Chief Executive Kevin Hart.
"We are encouraged to see the first drill stem test result at IM-5 confirm the deliverability of liquid-rich hydrocarbons from the Middle Isongo reservoir interval at commercial rates in excess of our pre-drill estimates. This result bodes well for the planned phased development of Etinde. We now look forward to test results from the Intra Isongo."
