The exploration well Koctepe -1 in South Eastern Turkey is drilling ahead. The well yesterday reached the second casing point at 870 metres depth after having been underway for 26 days. Total depth of the well is planned to be approximately 1,680 metres which should be reached within two to three weeks. The well is drilled to test two potential oil bearing zones that produce oil in nearby fields. Tethys Oil’s partner Aladdin Middle East Ltd is operating the well and Tethys Oil will upon completion of the well have a 45 percent interest in the license where the Koctepe-1 well is drilled.
