Cambay-76H "Tight" Reservoir Well Report No 13
Oilex Ltd advises that operations to prepare for well clean-up flow and production testing are continuing. The coil tubing unit was not able to retrieve milling tools being used to open the second fracture stimulation stage. Consequently, it is planned to mobilise a work-over rig to the well location to retrieve the milling tools. Following this, operations will resume to open up the remaining fracture stimulation stages so that clean-up operations and a flow test can be conducted.
