Condor's First Horizontal Well in Uzbekistan Reaches TD While Two New Zone Workovers in an Adjacent Field Increase Daily Production to Approximately 12,000 boepd

Executive Summary
- Condor Energies announced the first horizontal well (Andakli‑23, “A‑23”) in Uzbekistan’s Andakli field reached total depth with a 1,007 m open‑hole lateral and is slated for flow testing and production start in December 2025.
- Recent workovers on two North Syuzma wells in the same Jurassic clastics interval boosted average daily gas & condensate production to 11,844 boepd over the past three days (up from a Q3‑2025 average of 9,978 boepd).
- The company plans to drill up to 12 new wells in 2026, including another horizontal well from the same pad targeting a different carbonate reservoir.
Key Details
- Andakli‑23 (A‑23) Horizontal Well
- Total depth: 3,775 m; open‑hole horizontal section: 1,007 m.
- Completion string run; initial flow back of gas and drilling fluids observed at surface.
- Service rig to conduct flow test; expected production start December 2025.
-
Next well from same pad will target a different carbonate zone with up to 1,500 m lateral section.
-
North Syuzma‑01 Workover
- Perforated 3.1 m of discontinuous net sandstone (average porosity 18%).
- Multi‑rate well test (chokes 12.0–18.2 mm) – gas rates 7.6–11.4 MMscf/d, tubing pressures 934–1,643 psi.
-
Condensate flow 58–66 bopd; water rates 4–58 bbls/d.
-
North Syuzma‑12 Workover
- Perforated 2.1 m net gas pay across two intervals (average porosity 17%).
- Multi‑rate test (chokes 8.0–12.0 mm) – gas rates 4.0–6.6 MMscf/d, tubing pressures 1,351–1,735 psi.
-
Condensate flow 12–20 bopd; water rates 291–609 bbls/d (interpreted as load‑fluid recovery).
-
Production Impact
-
Average daily production increased to 11,844 boepd over the last three days, up from a Q3‑2025 average of 9,978 boepd.
-
Future Drilling Plans
- Targeting up to 12 new wells in 2026, focusing on horizontal drilling of thin, high‑porosity Jurassic clastic zones analogous to Western Canadian plays (Cardium, Viking).
