ASX-listed NuEnergy Gas Limited announced on Friday the production test and dewatering facilities commissioning at the Tanjung Enim PSC tenement in South Sumatra has successfully commenced following the completion of workover operations from the TE‐01 and TE‐02 wells.
Coal Bed Methane (CBM) production from TE‐01 commenced at 1900 EST on Nov. 14, 2015, 72 hours after the start of the commissioning period. This was then followed by CBM production from TE‐02 on Nov. 18, 2015. This early gas production result exceeds our expectations and the gas and water production parameters are currently being monitored for reservoir modelling purposes.
NuEnergy?s Chief Executive Officer Ian Wang commented: ?The early gas production clearly demonstrates that the South Sumatra basin is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon producing basins in Indonesia and Tanjung Enim is no exception. This result significantly fast‐tracks our objectives in booking early gas reserves and evaluating our commercialization proposals and enhances our reservoir understanding and modelling. In the coming months, we will continue to assess the performance of the wells based on permeability data and flow rates to determine viable project economics?
