... he low inflow are being further investigated. The well is currently suspended awaiting possible further evaluation and remedial work.
The Eb-5 exploration well was drilled after Eb-1 and reached a total depth of 1,000 meters. Although oil shows were encountered on core samples and oil pay indicated on wireline logs, the well was deemed non-commercial and abandoned. The most recent exploration well, Ut-6, targeted a Triassic Post Salt prospect and reached a total depth of 1,236 meters but did not encounter commercial hydrocarbon accumulations and will be abandoned.
The TasW-4 Phase 1 well was drilled to a total depth of 1,329 meters and penetrated 19 meters of net oil pay within two Triassic intervals. The lower interval, which contains 13 meters of net oil pay, was not encountered in the original TasW-3 discovery and represents an additional pay zone for the field. This interval was identified using Condor's 3D seismic attribute and pre-stack analysis. Based on formation pressure data, the oil gravity at TasW-4 is estimated to be 35 degrees API. Production casing has been run and cemented and the 90 day flow test will commence once regulatory approvals are obtained.
One other well completed during the third quarter was TasW-3. Originally drilled and tested in 2009 (stabilized oil rate of 220 barrels per day from a 5 meter net pay interval), an additional 5 meter net pay interval was identified with the recently acquired 3D seismic data. The new interval flowed at a stabilized oil rate of 300 barrels per day during well clean-up operations and up to 580 barrels per day initially. The well produced 35 degree API gravity oil with no water. The 90 day flow test will commence once regulatory approvals are obtained.
There is no certainty that any of the hydrocarbons will be recovered. Hydrocarbon recovery is subject to all of the risks associated with oil and gas operations, both domestic and international, as discussed in greater detail in Condor's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and in Condor's prospectus dated March 31, 2011.
Kazakhstan – Marsel
Since acquiring the Marsel license, the Company has gathered and processed 1,761 km of high resolution 2D seismic and 426 km2 of 3D seismic. The corresponding interpretation of the data has generated a portfolio of both Devonian sandstone and Carbonate shoal prospects. Acquisition of an additional 900 km of 2D seismic data commenced in August 2011 and is now 70% complete, while remaining on target to finish in December 2011. This latest seismic program is focused on defining additional prospects in the under-explored southern area of Marsel.
A drilling rig has been mobilized for the Assa 1 prospect, a Devonian sandstone target with a total well depth of nearly 3,000 meters. Drilling operations are expected to commence in November and reach the target interval by year end.
