DNO International ASA has reached a record daily production rate of 20,000 barrels of oil and condensate, and 60 million cubic feet of gas from Block 8 offshore of the Sultanate of Oman.
The new rates nearly triple oil and condensate production and double gas production from the block. The wells have reached the limits of the existing onshore processing facilities and have been choked back.
“With the success of these wells we are taking a fresh look at the West Bukha and Bukha fields and our other offshore assets and believe there is further potential to grow production and reserves in this area,” said Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, DNO International’s executive chairman.
The increased production capacity follows the completion of a two-well drilling program in the West Bukha field.
