Abacan tests oil in Niger Delta Ngo No. 6 well

June 26, 1997 Abacan Resource Corporation has announced test results on its Ngo #6 offshore well, an exploration well located to the north of the Ngo Field in the Niger Delta. The well was drilled to a true vertical depth of 12,350 feet (3,765 metres) and tested at a cumulative flow rate of 6,300 bpd of oil and condensate with associated gas.
The well confirms new hydrocarbons north of the company's Ngo Field and it will be tied into existing Ngo Field production facilities. Abacan is continuing its development drilling program on the Ngo Field.
