Circle: Al Amir Well Tests Hydrocarbons

Circle announced that the Al Amir SE-6X down-dip flank appraisal well successfully tested a hydrocarbon bearing interval over a pay zone of approximately 8 feet in thickness in the Lower Rudeis within the interval 13,776 to 13,784 feet. A drill stem test flowed 45° API oil at a sustained average rate of 66 bopd and 1.1mmscf/d of gas using a 32/64" choke. The well was shut in for pressure build-up and plugged back to a depth of 10,520 feet. The well test confirms the presence of hydrocarbon resources in the Lower Rudies interval and while the Lower Rudeis formation will not produce at this time the results of the perforation and testing indicate potential for future work programs.
