Xtract’s JV Extrem Energy preparing Alasehir-1 well in Turkey for production test
Xtract Energy PLC (AIM: XTR) said its Turkish joint venture group Extrem Energy AS, in which it holds 34 percent, has re-entered the Alasehir-1 well on the Alasehir licence area and is currently preparing it for perforation and flow testing.
Five intervals have been selected for testing, ranging in depth from 1,573 to 1,802 metres. If commercial oil flow rates are confirmed, Extrem Energy intends to combine production with that planned from Sarikiz-2 well, using the surface facilities that are being prepared at that site.
The Sarikiz-2 site is expected to become the hub for development of both the Alasehir and Sarikiz oil fields. Production testing and well completion, once the work has begun, is estimated to be 30 days. An estimate of the total oil in place in the Alasehir field will be made following the production test.
Xtract identifies and invests in a diversified portfolio of early stage energy sector technologies and businesses with significant growth potential.

Merty Energy of Turkey, Xtract holds 25 percent in Zhibek Resources, an oil and gas E&P company with a 72 percent interest in the Tash Kumyr and Pishkoran exploration licences in the Kyrgyz Republic.
