Offshore staff

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- PA Resources has begun regular production from the platform on the Didon field offshore Tunisia.

The company has finalized the tests of the platform and production has reached approximately 20,000 b/d oil.

"PA Resources' target for the platform has been to produce 20,000 b/d in average. This production level has now been achieved. We have coped with the group's perhaps biggest challenge ever and have passed a milestone in the development of PA Resources as an operator of oilfields" says Ulrik Jansson, president and CEO of PA Resources AB.

A temporary tanker anchored near the Didon platform, will be replaced later this spring by the tankerDidon FSO or another permanent tanker with greater loading capacity, the company says.
