The Zitong-1 well flowed at a restricted rate of 750,000ft³ per day through a 3mm choke, which was used for testing purposes.

The well was perforated in the Xu-4 formation, exposing 33m of pay, and a test was conducted in this zone following an initial 24-hour build-up period.

The well will be shut in to record reservoir pressure build-up and then the Xu-4 formation will be isolated to allow perforating and testing of the shallower Xu-5 formation.
