Report informs, the company has said.
Zenith said it went ahead with perforation after examining well data at the C-21 well at Jafarli, in Azerbaijan.
The use of new technology allowed the identification of a total of 7.1 metres unexploited payzone. The first time such techniques were used in its Azerbaijani operations. The well is now giving 15 barrels of oil per day, having previously not been productive.

The agreement was ratified by Milli Majlis (Azerbaijani Parliament) on June 14, and the field development began on August 11, 2016.
The share of Zenith is 80%, SOCAR – 20%. The agreement is signed for a period of 25 years with the possibility of an extension for another 5 years. The total area of the fields is 642.4 square km.
