Reuters reported that Canada's Calvalley Petroleum shut an oil well in south eastern Yemen after an explosion targeting its facilities damaged the well head.
The report said that an explosive device went off outside an oil well in Hadramout province, UAE based Gulf News reported. Unidentified men planted three bombs near an oil well but two were defused.
Calvalley said that the targeted well in the Al Roidhat field was producing about 100 barrels of oil per day and production from other wells was not affected.
It said that the damaged well will be put back on production after repairs are completed.
Calvalley's principal asset is its 50% working interest in Block 9 in the Sayun Masila Basin in Yemen.
