Apache Corp. said September 5 that the Beryl Bravo B73y development well in the UK's North Sea tests at 8,161 barrels of oil per day (bo/d) and 5.9 million cubic feet of gas per day (MMcf/d). The B73y well tested a Nansen reservoir containing 71 feet of net oil pay and began producing at the end of August. The well also encountered 245 feet of net pay in three additional zones that will be produced at a later date. Apache has a 50% interest in the B73y well, which is a follow up to the previously disclosed B72 well that tested in excess of 11,600 bo/d and 13 MMcf/d in May 2012. Similarly, the B72 encountered additional pay behind pipe that will be produced at a later date.
