The Dirok Field, situated in the ON-94/1 block at Margarita and operated by HOEC in partnership with OIL and IOCL, has tested a new reservoir, Sand-9, in well Dirok-1.
This well has reported a flow rate of 6 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
Further production testing is ongoing to confirm and potentially expand the field’s proven reserves based on these promising results.
