Horizon Oil is pleased to announce that the MR-8A well in the Maari field commenced producing on 28 November 2014 from a previously undrained unit of the Moki formation. The well is currently producing at approximately 2,000 barrels of oil per day and will gradually be ramped up to production capacity, which OMV, the field operator, estimates to be 4,500 barrels of oil per day (gross).
The well was side-tracked out of a reclaimed well slot and drilled horizontally into the Moki Cycle 2 formation to a total length of 3,824 m.
The MR-8A well is the second well in the campaign following the drilling of a well into the untapped Mangahewa formation which was suspended in order to implement a revised completion concept.
