Atrush drilling and completion operations, suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resumed in Q2 2021 with the spudding of the CK-17 from Pad A on April 1, 2021.  The CK-17, targeting reserves in the Western flank of the Atrush structure, brings the total number of producing Pad A wells to three and the total Atrush production well count to eleven.

ShaMaran President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Adel Chaouch said, "With CK-17 now online, Atrush continues to demonstrate a return to consistent quarter-on quarter production growth this year.  This growth will be sustained by the resumption of previously suspended drilling and completion activities in the future."
