09:52 AM EST - Tethys Petroleum Limited : provided an update on its activities in Tajikistan and also gave a brief update on oil transportation in Kazakhstan. At the Beshtentak field, work is still ongoing on the BST20 well, which initially tested at rates in excess of 600 barrels of oil per day (bopd). This well is crestally located approximately half way along the field, which is some 12 km (8.8 miles) long. The initial production testing from this well indicated that it was draining a separate fault compartment to nearby wells, however recent production performance would indicate possible communication with the nearby BST103 well which is producing gas from the field for the city of Kulob, this gas being part of the "base level" production on the field assigned to the Tajik State.
