Description
London-based Neptune Energy has announced two hydrocarbon discoveries in Lower Saxony, Germany, at gas wells #15Z Adorf and #6 Ringe. The #15Z Adorf appraisal well was drilled to 3,500 m. Initial production testing from the targeted Carboniferous zone flowed 1,700 bbl of oil equivalent per day. At #6 Ringe, a test of a reservoir extension found Bentheim Sandstone to be oil-bearing. Neptune is operator of the Adorf and Ringe fields with partner Wintershall Dea.
