Tests prompt doubts of Kurdamir potential

摘要

Dubai—The potential of the Talisman Energyoperated Kurdamir block in the northern Iraqi region of Kurdistan may have to be revised after the first two tests of the Kurdamir-3 appraisal well yielded “unexpected” results that increased the risks associated with the current estimate of the field’s oil resources. “The interim test results from Kurdamir-3 have increased the risk associated with the undiscovered prospective resource assessment that the company carries for the Kurdamir Oligocene reservoir,” Talisman’s partner, Canada’s WesternZagros, said Thursday.
