PORT OF SPAIN, July 10 -- Canadian Superior Energy Inc. and BG International Ltd. will conduct flow testing on the Bounty well, which was drilled on the Intrepid Block 5(c) off the east coast of Trinidad and Tobago.

The companies have completed initial drilling of the well to 17,360 ft, which includes wireline logging. Testing operation will take 30 days, after which the partners will start drilling the Endeavour well, which is part of its initial 3-well drilling program on Block 5(c).

Last month the consortium reported that the Bounty well found 200 ft of pay in a developed sand interval that logs indicated was hydrocarbon-bearing.

Bounty was spudded on Feb. 20 on a separate prospect from the Victory well, which was reported in January.
