STOCKHOLM -- PA Resources has hit pay with a horizontal production well on the Didon field offshore Tunisia. The well, which was drilled by the jackup Ensco 85, penetrated a 350-m (1,148-ft) long horizontal section of premium reservoir, the company reports.

The Didon-10 well was drilled into the El Gueria reservoir partly using an earlier drilled well, the company says.
