Gdansk Concession Exploratory Has Gas Shows Over 1,000-meter Interval
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
In Poland's Gdansk W Concession, London-based San Leon Energy has drilled and completed its first shale-gas exploration well in the Baltic Basin. The #1G-2 Lewino reached 3,600 meters and encountered continuous gas shows of more than 1,000 meters in middle and lower Silurian shales, and Ordovician and upper Cambrian. Gas analysis indicated methane (C1) with smaller amounts of ethane, propane, butane and pentane (C2-C5). After completion, the rig will be moved to the Braniewo Concession to drill #1-Rogity, which will be immediately followed by a well in the Szczawno Concession. Future operations are expected to include a long offset horizontal with multistage fracturing. The project is funded by Talisman Energy as part of its earning of 60% interest in the concession.
