AWE Plans Drill Stem Test at Al Meashar-2 Well

AWE has set tools into the hole at the Al Meashar-2 appraisal well in block 7, Yemen, in order to perform a drill stem test.

The firm completed a clean-up of the well and made preparations for the test.

Al Meashar-2 is the first appraisal well of the Al Meashar-1 oil discovery, which was drilled in early 2010.

The discovery encountered oil in the fracture basement; however, oil flow rates were limited due to potential reservoir damage while drilling.

The appraisal well was drilled from the existing Al Meashar-1 well pad and deviated parallel to the discovery well.
