circleoilCircle Oil plc, the international oil and gas exploration, development and production company announces that the 2016 infill drilling campaign on the North West Gemsa field (Circle Oil 40%, NPIC 50%, SDX 10%) has been completed. The second of the two production wells, AASE-24 has been drilled to TD, completed and tied in to the production infrastructure. On 16 May a well test commenced and the well flowed at a gross average rate of 1,714bbls/day of oil and 3.062mmcf/d of gas through a 40/64″ choke.

The well will be produced at a lower rate in order to best manage the long term field production.
