Poland: Gas Shows Found Over a 500-meter Interval in Baltic Basin
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
A second shale-gas exploration well was completed by London-based San Leon Energy in Poland's Baltic Basin. The #1-Rogity was drilled to 2,788 meters in the Braniewo S concession and, according to San Leon, had continuous, rich-gas shows over a 500-meter-interval through Lower Silurian, Ordovician and Middle Cambrian zones. According to the company, the gas shows are consistent with a wet-gas system in the basin. The strongest gas shows, along with indications of oil, were encountered in the Lower Silurian interval, which is estimated to be more than 100 meters thick. Oil shows were also encountered in Ordovician limestones and shales and in Middle Cambrian sandstone. Future operations in the Braniewo S Concession are expected to include a long offset horizontal well and multistage fracturing.
