Bayhanli-2 is the fifth gas well in the company's multi-well drilling program at the SASB gas field development program. The well targets a previously discovered gas pool, which was never previously produced, through a long reach directional wellbore to enable production. The Bayhanli gas pool is a significant target and may likely require additional wells in the future to fully produce the economic reserves.Â
The Bayhanli-2 well is expected to reach a total measured depth of 3,400 m and true vertical depth of about 1,200 m, thus, reaching more than 2 km horizontal distance from the East Ayazli offshore platform. The well was spud on April 5. The company said it anticipates drilling, casing, perforation and testing will take a total of about 45 days.
