ASHKABAD, Turkmenistan -- Dragon Oil has completed and tested Dzheitune (Lam) B/145, the second development well to be drilled from the new Dzheitune (Lam) B platform offshore Turkmenistan.

The Astra jackup drilled the well to 3,344 m (10,971 ft). On test, it flowed at an initial rate of 1,054 b/d of oil.

The rig has been demobilized, but Dragon plans redeployment later this year.
