- The company announced the sale of its Turkish assets (Poyraz Ridge and Destan licenses) to a third-party buyer for a 10-year gross overriding royalty and nominal cash, subject to government approval.
- Concurrently, Condor is drilling a second rig for the Kumli-45 (K-45) vertical well to calibrate data for a future campaign of up to six horizontal wells, with testing planned for February 2026.
Key Details
- Uzbekistan Drilling Update (Andakli-21):
- Reached Total Depth (TD) of 3,456 metres, including a 1,279-metre open-hole lateral section (record for longest horizontal in Uzbekistan).
- Intersected over 960 metres of carbonate reservoir with >6% visible porosity.
- Reservoir quality exceeded expectations: 223 metres of the lateral contained up to 12% visible porosity.
- Significant gas shows observed, ranging from 20% to 31% gas volume in drilling fluid.
- Plan: Acid stimulation of the entire A-21 lateral section to enhance productivity, followed by flow testing and bringing the well on production in the second half of February 2026.
- Post-A-21, the 1,007-metre lateral of the previously drilled Andakli-23 (A-23) well will also be acid stimulated, tested, and brought online.
- Acid stimulations to use small-diameter tubulars; larger coil tubing unit to be mobilized in Q1 2026.
- Uzbekistan Drilling Update (Kumli-45):
- Second drilling rig operating on Kumli-45 (K-45), a vertical well targeting multiple reservoirs with a planned TD of 2,400 metres.
- Recovered an 18-metre core at 2,150 metres from a target zone; core to be exported to Canada for special core analysis.
- Purpose: Calibrate regional wireline log data to prioritize a subsequent drilling campaign of up to six horizontal wells from this pad.
- K-45 planned to be tested in February 2026 after logging and casing.
- Construction of a second drilling pad in an undeveloped portion of the Kumli field planned for Q1 2026 to drill one vertical and up to six horizontal wells.
