The production test, which marks the final major phase of work for the Cambay 77-H proof of concept well, is designed to offer performance data that will be essential for assessment of reservoir properties.

The company has now completed two distinct sections of the formal test including 12.5 days of flow period, where the well flowed on a constant choke size after achieving stable flow soon after opening as well as 300 hour of shut-in period, where data continued to be recorded and monitored.

Following completion of preliminary analysis of the data, Oilex will announce the flowback and test results.

Oilex managing director Ron Miller said: "Completion of the Cambay-77H production test and successful retrieval of the downhole data is very pleasing.

"The production test is now complete and we look forward to the preliminary analysis of all acquired data."
