TEHRAN, Iran – Petro Gohar Farasahel Kish Co. (PGFK) has completed drilling of eight wells from platform 24B for phases 22-24 of the South Pars field in the Persian Gulf.

Records established at 24B included drilling a 32-in. section in nine hours. Some of the wells featured a 60° angle.
Phases 22, 23, and 24 are being developed via two main platforms (22 and 23) and two satellite platforms (24A and 24B). PGFK is drilling a total of 38 wells. The campaign will add 1 bcf/d gas to production capacity at South Pars.
