Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Serinus Energy has announced results from a gas discovery in the Satu Mare Concession in Romania. The #1-Sancrai exploration well recorded continuous formation gas shows over a 20-m gross pay interval in four sands. The well was drilled to 1,600 m and the gas shows were recorded in four Pliocene sand intervals between 855 m and 875 m. According to the company, the total gas ranged from 5.5% to 11.1% with an estimated average porosity of between 23% and 27%. Serinus will perforate and test the sand zone before completion. The venture is about 8 km south of the Moftinu Gas Development project and the company plans to bring the well online for commercial production while drilling additional appraisal development wells to fully delineate the gas field. Serinus is based in Saint Helier, Jersey Island, U.K.
