ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Norwegian oil and gas company DNO ASA on Wednesday reported the completion of three new production wells at its flagship Tawke field in the Kurdistan Region, saying it was part of a stepped-up drilling program that began in July.
It said the Tawke-31 well “will be brought on production following an acid stimulation program,” and that Tawke-33 and Tawke-34 “are also being readied for production.”
Drilling will also begin at a fourth well, Tawke-37, next week, the company said in a statement.
“The four wells are expected to cost less than USD 20 million in total and add about 10 percent to field output capacity,” the company added.
Tawke production during the third quarter averaged 109,159 barrels of oil per day, of which 108,759 bpd were delivered for export through Turkey, the DNO statement said.
