Jura Energy has announced that the Petroleum Exploration (Pvt) Limited (PEL) -operated Ayesha-1 well in the Pakistan’s Badin IV South Block has been drilled to the targeted depth of 2,400 meters.

“Gas shows were observed over an about 50 meter section in the targeted Lower Goru formation. Electronic logging of the hole is complete and the results indicate potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones within the Lower Goru 'A' and 'B' Sands. The liner running is in progress. Drill stem testing for the 'B' Sand is scheduled to commence in three days,” Jura said.

According to the company, the Badin IV South Block joint venture partners are in the process of finalizing the testing program.

Jura expects to perforate approx. 25 meters in the test zones, which have a gross sand thickness of approx. 80 meters.

Jura holds a 27.5% working interest in the Badin IV South Block.
