CDR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Condor Energies reported strong gas shows from its K‑46 horizontal well in Uzbekistan, including >25% gas over 141 m and ≥50% gas over more than 65 m of lateral section.
  • The well is being completed with an acid wash and flow test slated for mid‑April 2026, with pipeline tie‑in work underway to move quickly to commercial gas sales.
  • Condor announced the promotion of Matt Pachell to Chief Operating Officer, expanding his responsibilities over Central Asian operations and project execution.

Key Details

  • Well K‑46 drilling: Total depth 3,150 m; 817 m open‑hole lateral section; third horizontal well in the Uzbekistan campaign.
  • Reservoir performance: Strong gas shows >25% over 141 m of lateral; ≥50% gas over >65 m of lateral, mirroring positive results from vertical well K‑45 (5.3 MMscf/d flow rate, 1,053 psi tubing pressure).
  • Completion plan: Acid wash of the lateral to boost near‑wellbore deliverability, followed by a flow and build‑up test; testing expected to finish by mid‑April 2026.
  • Infrastructure: Pipeline tie‑in activities in progress to enable rapid transition to gas sales after testing.
  • Next drilling activity: Rig moving to K‑47 on the same pad, drilled opposite direction targeting the same upper reservoir interval.
  • Future development: Two additional upper‑reservoir horizontal wells planned from a second pad northeast of the current location; up to four more horizontals targeting a lower reservoir identified by K‑45.
  • Executive appointment: Matt Pachell promoted from Senior Vice President, Asset Development & Exploration to Chief Operating Officer. He will oversee operations, project execution, and technical functions for growth strategies in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
