Well #115 will be brought into production when Zhaikmunai's gas treatment facility (currently being commissioned) starts up operations. \n \nKai-Uwe Kessel, Chief Executive Officer, commented: \n \n\"This is the first test of the Ardatovski horizon in a separate fault block in the northeastern part of Chinarevskoye Field. Previously the Middle Devonian Biski and Vorobyovski horizons had been successfully tested in the same well in 2008. During 2009-2010 the well was used as a producer from the Lower Carboniferous Tournaisian gas condensate and oil horizons. The successful test of the Ardatovski horizon underlines the potential of the Chinarevskoye field and validates our development strategy.\"\n \n \nFor further information please visit www.zhaikmunai.com.\n \n\n\n \n \n \nFurther enquiries\nZhaikmunai LP \nBert Jordens, Investor Relations Officer\[email protected] +44 (0) 1624 68 21 79 \n \n \nAbout Zhaikmunai\n \nZhaikmunai is an independent oil and gas enterprise currently engaging in the exploration and development and production of oil and gas.
