Notable Quotes
- Marshall Abbott, CEO: "The M-6 well was drilled on time and on budget and initial production has exceeded expectations. In addition to the thick pay zones encountered in the C7 formation, an additional pay zone currently behind pipe, the C9, provides further production opportunities in the future."
- Marshall Abbott, CEO: "The M-6 well reinforces that the Mateguafa Attic discovery is material to Arrow and we are looking forward to the results of the horizontal well M-HZ7, which will further develop this discovery and help determine the extent of the pools and the potential reserves additions. Initial results indicate that the discovery will develop into another core area for Arrow with the potential for horizontal drilling development."
