Ber Bahr-1 Exploration Well

The first exploration well on the Ber Bahr block has drilled to a measured depth of 1,765 metres at the top of the Triassic with hydrocarbons indications observed in the well. Wireline logging is underway which will be followed by running of 9 5/8" casing. The well will then continue drilling to the estimated TD of 2,100 metres.

Also a note from the broker stated that was similar to early Shailhan wells,if so WOW?

Approx 335mtrs to go of which oil plays are part of,so news is close?

Very strange cyners.

Genel Energy plc ('Genel') notes the announcement from DNO ASA, as operator of the Tawke field, that the Tawke field partners have received a payment of $16 million from the Kurdistan Regional Government ('KRG') for oil sales during April 2016.

The payment will be shared pro-rata by DNO and Genel.

Tawke production in April averaged 118,918 barrels of oil per day (bopd), of which 117,815 bopd were earmarked for export, up from an average of 74,546 bopd in March.

Only for oil sales in April, just like GKP....
Back payments must be getting dealt with differently now?
I hope so....

Equity research analysts at Barclays Capital say now might be a good time to "pause for thought" in respect of Kurdistan focussed oil and gas company Genel Energy (LON:GENL), given the share price recovery which has taken place since the Taq Taq reserve downgrade in February.

The broker reckons that, while the company is still providing exposure to improving payments for oil exports in Kurdistan, further material upside will now depend on it advancing the Miran Bina Bawi gas project.

It added: "We believe this can become a highly accretive project for Genel, but do not expect investors to ascribe significant value to the opportunity until the commercial arrangements are concluded and development timescales confirmed."

Barclays has downgraded its investment rating to underweight from overweight but increased its price target to 130 pence per share from 115 pence.

Genel Energy notes the announcement from DNO ASA, operator of the Tawke field, that three new production wells have been completed at the Tawke field in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq as part of a stepped up drilling program kicked off in July 2016.

The Tawke-31 well, targeting the main Cretaceous reservoir will be brought on production following an acid stimulation program.

Two additional wells targeting the shallow Jeribe reservoir, Tawke-33 and Tawke-34, are also being readied for production. A further Jeribe well, Tawke-37, will be spudded next week.

The four wells are expected to cost less than $20 million in total and add about 10 percent to field output capacity.

Earlier this month the Peshkabir-2 well was spudded, aiming to appraise the Jurassic reservoir and explore the Cretaceous horizon on a previous discovery to the west of the main Tawke field.

This well marks the completion of the current drilling program at the Tawke license which was initiated on the back of monthly export payments from the Kurdistan Regional Government.

Plans to engage a third drilling rig were dropped in September though the company expects to re-start investments to boost production to a targeted level of 135,000 bopd following the resumption of regular and predictable payments.

Tawke production during the third quarter averaged 109,159 bopd, of which 108,759 bopd was delivered for export through Turkey.

GMP comment:
"Genel Energy (GENL LN); SPECULATIVE BUY: £3.50 – DNO (DNO NO) (not covered) announces an operating update in Kurdistan. Plans to engage a third drilling rig were dropped in September due to irregular payments from the KRG. The company expects to re-start investment to boost production at Tawke (Genel WI: 25%) to a targeted level of 135,000 bbl/d following the resumption of regular and predictable payments. Tawke oil production during 3Q16 averaged 109,159 bbl/d (GMPe: 120 mbbl/d).
Market reaction: slightly negative on what looks to be a more muted production outlook by DNO. This should not come as a big surprise to investors given the ongoing payment difficulties with the KRG. Genel has in any case a more prudent view on Tawke. The ongoing four well campaign is expected to boost Tawke production to c.120 mbbl/d (+10%) excluding natural decline. This level would be marginally below our forecast of 125 mbbl/d for 4Q16. This probably means that Genel’s FY16 production will be near the lower end of the Company’s guidance of 53-60 mbbl/d."
