Nido Petroleum today announced successful flow rates from their SC54A Tindalo-1 well, resulting in an appreciation in the shareprice to well over 20c in intraday trade after an end to the companys self imposed trading halt.
The well was flowing at a maximum rate of 18 689 bopd, well above their target of between 7000 and 15 000 bopd. Those rates came without use of any pumping and were restricted by the hardware used, adding more positive sentiment to the productivity of this well over the longer term.
Nido made it quite clear in todays announcement that they intend to use the cash flow to immediately develop other shallow water targets in the area and plan to implement their strategy regarding development of their Gindarra target in SC63. Given the company's public search for a major partner for SC63, and the purchase of over 11% of the company's shares by Morgan Stanley, there are certainly exciting times ahead.
