Jupiter Energy was on the up after it announced two of its wells in Kazakhstan had been granted trial production licences.
The licences for its J-51 and J-53 wells mean oil can be produced under trial production for a maximum of three years and during this time it will be sold into the domestic market.
The company plans to develop the required infrastructure to move these wells from trial to full production - and therefore from domestic to export oil sales - sooner than this maximum 3 year period.
