DNO is preparing to spud the first well on its Baeshiqa license east of Mosul in Iraqi Kurdistan after having raised production at Peshkabir oil field to the northwest to 50,000 b/d. The first Baeshiqa well will target Cretaceous strata. A second well will target Jurassic and Triassic layers on the same structure. A third well, to be drilled next year, will test Jurassic and Triassic rocks on a separate structure.
