Max Petroleum has in recent months posted positive results from its projects.
Last month it reported strong production from the ESKN-1 exploration well in the Eskene North prospect.
Initial results of the electric logs of the well, which reached a depth of 1,507 metres, indicated 20 metres of net pay over an 90-metre gross interval.
Testing on the well was due to begin sometime early this year.
