08:55 AM EST, 11/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Central Asia-focused Condor Energies ( CNPRF ) said Monday that its first horizontal well in Uzbekistan's Andakli field, the Andakli-23 horizontal well, reached total depth of 3,775 meters.

Once the drilling rig has been moved off, Condor said it will use a service rig to flow test the well, which is then expected to be placed on production in December.

Using the same pad location, the company will drill the next horizontal well that targets a different carbonate reservoir, which is currently produced from vertical wells in the Andakli field.

Meanwhile, Condor said two recent workovers from a newly discovered gas zone in the A-23 deeper Jurassic clastics interval have increased average daily production of gas and condensate to 11,844 barrels of oil equivalent per day over the past three days.

"We are extremely proud of our operations and asset development teams to have successfully and safely delivered the longest ever drilled horizontal well in Uzbekistan while introducing several new technologies and techniques, including actively geo-steering the 1007 meter horizontal section to maximize the amount of gas reservoir pay," President and Chief Executive Officer Don Streu said.

"We are excited for the upcoming A-23 test program and remain focused on drilling up to 12 new wells in 2026."
