Max Petroleum Plc’s SAGW-7 appraisal well has reached a depth of 1,438 m (4,718 ft) with electric logs indicating 24 m (79 ft) of net pay in four Triassic reservoirs including 19 m (62 ft) of net oil pay in three upper reservoirs and 5 m (16 ft) of net gas pay in one lower reservoir.

SAGW-7 is the final well in the current appraisal drilling program in the Sagiz West Field.

The company said the reservoir quality is excellent with porosities ranging from 15% to 27%. Max is setting production casing in the well and will begin testing SAGW-7 as soon as practicable.
