The Adatepe-3 well in Turkey completed a staged production test with pressure build up in between flows. The initial flow was unstabilised and estimated to be about 9 million cubic feet per day, with initial shut-in pressure at 1584 psi.

The company will now evaluate the test and suspend the hole as a producer, awaiting a tie-in to the gas plant. Adatepe-3 is a development well on the Adatepe Field located 6km southeast of the Gocerler Gas Field.

The well is being drilled in Petroleum Exploration Licence AR/AOI/3648, which forms part of "Area A" of the Thrace Joint Venture and is located 120km west of Istanbul in Turkey's onshore Thrace Basin. Participants in the well are Amity Oil 50% (operator) and Türkiye Petrolleri A.O. 50%.

However, at the company's 90% owned Yuksekkoy-1 exploration well, the drill pipe became permanently stuck and all attempts to free it failed. The well will now be abandoned without further efforts to continue as there were no hydrocarbons observed.

While at the recently spudded Whicher Range-5 well in Western Australia, south of Perth there has been a minor delay after the drill string parted and is currently being retrieved.
