Santos today announced that oil production from the Stag field located in the Carnarvon Basin has increased over the last ten days following recent field development activity. Over this period gross production exceeded 30,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) on five occasions and achieved a maximum rate of 31,500 bopd.
This production rate represents an increase on the rate of 22,790 bopd (gross) achieved during the 2000 second quarter, which was also a record for the field.
The increase in production results from the drilling of Stag 21H and the sidetrack of Stag 15H.
