Aladdin Middle East Ltd completed and brought onstream the Petek 2 appraisal well in October 2017. The well, which is located in Block L44-d4-2, southeast Turkey, was spudded on 28 August 2017. The Petek 1 exploration well was completed as an oil production well on 12 February 2014 after reaching a TD of 2,917m. Three drill stem tests (DST), one of which was bypassed, were conducted in the Cretaceous Mardin Group. The third DST reportedly recovered some light oil.Â  Based on these results the well was put on test production and completed as a Mardin Group producer.Â  During production tests at this reservoir, the well started artesian flow at varying rates and finally settled at 90 bbls per day of light oil of 35.9Â° API gravity with 0% water cut using a 14/64" choke. Block L44-d4-2 covers an area of 13.6 sq km and was first awarded in October 2014. Aladdin (50%, operator) is partnered in the block by Guney Yildizi Petrol 50%.  Â  Â
