Zeta Petroleum said that log results from the Jimbolia-100 appraisal well, located on the Jimbolia oil concession in Romania, have shown presence of hydrocarbons in multiple sands.
The company previously drilled two wells in the concession, where Jimbolia-1 oil tested at 120 barrels per day and Jimbolia-6 tested oil at 36 barrels per day.

Zeta now plans to flow test the well, while the cost of the test will be funded by the operator NIS Petrol SRL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NIS Gazprom Neft.
During drilling, Jimbolia-100 well reached the total target depth of 2,590m on 21 February 2013.
The company has logged the well with wireline tools and a 7in liner run, and cemented the bottom section of the hole.
As per the operator’s advice, the current drilling rig has to be removed and replaced with a lighter work over rig for the testing phase.
