OMV successfully completed the Bernhardsthal 11 new pool wildcat, after it reached TD at 3,140m and discovered oil in a previously unexplored reservoir to open up a deeper play beneath the Bernhardsthal-Sud Field. The well also encountered oil within the overlying Miocene 2nd - 3rd Eggenburg Sand and 24th Torton Horizon which will be tested in the future. It was converted for oil production in June 2018, and six new production wells are planned to produce the oil in the Bernhardsthal Ost area. Bernhardsthal 11 was spudded by mid-April 2018 in NE Austria, less than 5km from the Czech border. OMV Aktiengesellschaft operates the Lower Austria licence with 100% equity.
