The oilfield currently has shut-in production of 1,750 bopd, about 60 percent higher than normal, the company said.
Oil sales increased about 2 percent to 12,152 bopd.
Bankers Petroleum expects exit production in 2011 to range from 16,000-20,000 bopd.

BANKERS PETROLEUM OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE SECOND QUARTER 2011
Bankers Petroleum Ltd. is providing an operational update.
Production and oil price
Oil sales from the Patos-Marinza oil field in Albania during the second quarter averaged 12,152 barrels of oil per day compared with first quarter sales of 11,894 bopd. The last export shipment of approximately 54,000 barrels (equivalent to about 600 bopd for the quarter) scheduled for June 29 was delayed due to late vessel arrival to July 2 and will be included in next quarter's oil sales. Oil inventory on June 30 was 239,000 barrels, an increase of 71,000 barrels in the quarter (equivalent to about 800 bopd) from the March 31 inventory level of 168,000 barrels, as a result of additional new well site tanks and storage tanks at the export terminal requiring certain minimum operational volumes in each tank.
Average production for the second quarter was 12,973 bopd representing a 7-per-cent increase from 12,147 bopd in the first quarter, yet approximately 1,200 bopd lower than forecast due to several operational challenges detailed herein. Current production is 13,150 bopd.
