Vietsovpetro has made a commercial discovery of the Sturgeon field offshore Vietnam

It has happened as a result of the successful testing of the exploration well CT-3X Block 09/3-12 which achieved a dry oil free flow to surface from the productive horizons of more than 1 800 tons per day.

The Sturgeon (Ca Tam) field was discovered in 2014 in course of the exploration well 2-X testing. The field is located within the Block 09/3-12. The oil reserves calculation shall be made and a design project for bringing the field into development shall be prepared basing on the results of the commercial discovery.

The result of the first Upper Oligocene productive horizon test of the exploration well CT-3X Block 09/3-12 was a dry oil free flow to surface of 1 300 m3/day, and the second Lower Miocene productive horizon testing resulted in a dry oil free flow to surface of 550 m3/day.
