ShaMaran Petroleum Corp. (SNM) has announced an Atrush operations update.

Drilling operations have commenced on the CK-18 production well in the Atrush Block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

This well will be a Lower Jurassic deviated production well drilled to the southwest from the Chamanke G Pad and located to the north of wells CK-15 and CK-8.

CK-18 is forecast to produce up to 2,000 barrels of oil per day.

Also, drilling operations have recently concluded on CK-16, a water disposal well, drilled from the Chamanke G Pad and designed to provide redundancy to the existing Atrush water disposal well, CK-9.
