A well in the Bakrman area of the block could start producing 2,000 barrels a day in Q2 2015, while total production of the block could reach 35,000 barrels a day by the end of next year, he added.
MOL plans to spend USD 500m on its programmes in the Akri-Bijeel and nearby Shaikan block next year. It is the operator of the Akri-Bijeel block, with an 80% stake.

Production in the Shaikan block stands at 25,000 barrels a day at present, but could reach 40,000 by year end as another three wells are put into operation.
