Gas Production Commences at Oman 2-20 Well
Marion Energy Limited (ASX: MAE,MAEO,MAEOA) advises that operations at the Oman 2-20 well located at its Clear Creek project have further advanced with initial gas flows commencing.
An electrical submersible has been run into the well bore: as the pump draws down the fluid level in the well bore, the back pressure on the reservoir will be reduced and production will increase. It is anticipated that the fluid level in the well bore will need to be drawn down to about 200 feet above the pump before optimum producing conditions will be achieved.
Under the current operating conditions, with the fluid level in the wellbore being drawn down, gas production is fluctuating, but importantly is showing an increasing trend. Prior to this well being shut in during the latter part of 2009, it was producing at a rate of approximately 250,000 cubic feet of gas per day.
Further updates will be provided as the rate of gas produced stabilises.
