TMK能源与Major Drilling公司敲定了位于Nariin Sukhait (LF-07)的额外试验生产井合同，预计将于未来几周开钻。钻井所需的所有长引设备现已到位，井场准备、井底水池及相关现场工作也已完工。

即将使用的TXD200钻机比前几年使用的钻机更大、功率更大，钻井合同采用固定价格“交钥匙”合同，降低了公司可能出现成本超支的风险。2025年5月完成的独立技术审查中提出的与钻井作业相关的建议正在实施中，包括改进的先进泥浆系统，旨在进一步减轻对油藏的任何潜在负面影响。

LF-07 的钻探将满足 TMK 对 Gurvantes XXXV 许可证的 2025 年试验井钻探承诺，并且很可能是当前试验井综合体中钻探的最后一口垂直试验井，因为该公司开始设计和规划 2026 年潜在的斜向/水平钻井和水力压裂计划。

TMK Energy finalized its contract with Major Drilling for an additional pilot production well at Nariin Sukhait (LF-07), expected to spud in the coming weeks. All long lead items required for drilling are now on site and the pad preparation, sumps and associated site works are complete.

The TXD200 drilling rig to be used is a larger, more powerful drilling rig than the rig used in previous years, with the drilling contract structured as a fixed price “turnkey” contract, reducing risk to the Company of any potential cost overruns. Recommendations associated with drilling operations that came out of the Independent Technical Review completed in May 2025 are being implemented, including an improved and advanced mud system which has been designed to further mitigate any potential negative impacts on the reservoir.

The drilling of LF-07 will meet TMK’s 2025 pilot well drilling commitment for the Gurvantes XXXV license and will likely be the last vertical pilot well to be drilled in the current pilot well complex as the company commences the design and planning of a potential deviated/horizontal drilling and fracking program for 2026.
