Prospect: The primary targets are the conventional Palaeogene and Cretaceous reservoirs in a sub-thrust faulted four-way dip closure between 1700 and 2400m . Minor oil was also recovered during testing of the Palaeogene sandstones in the over-thrust secondary Palaeogene objectives between 300 and 400m in wells drilled in the 1960s . The western upside area of closure of the Huday Nazar prospect also partly underlies the eastern extent of the North Rishtan oil and gas field, which produces oil and gas from Cretaceous and Jurassic reservoirs.
It is expected that the well will take 35 days to drill, spudding is planned for the second week of August.
