Cumulative production from the NW Gemsa Concession (containing the Al Amir and Geyad Development Leases) has now exceeded 7.9m barrels of 42 degree API Crude oil.
"Circle is very pleased that the AASE-11X ST1 well has been completed as a Shagar sand producer with good initial flow. This well result further proves up the north western flank of the AASE field," said Chief Executive Officer Chris Green.
Circle owns a 40% interest in the NW Gemsa Concession.
Investec reiterated its buy rating on the stock this morning, saying that shares are trading at a 20% discount to its core net asset value.
