Salt Lake City-based FX Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: FXEN) has reported a successful drill stem test (DST) of the company's Mieczewo-1K well. Located in company's Fences concession in central Poland, this exploratory well flowed gas with no water in this first DST.

Andy Pierce, vice president of operations, remarked, "We have more drilling, coring and testing to do before we can say for sure whether this is a producible gas deposit. But so far everything looks just like we expected."

At the time of the DST the Mieczewo-1K well had drilled a total of 9.6 meters of porous Rotliegend sandstone. The well will be drilled and cored another 50-60 meters, then logged and tested to determine the full extent of the pay zone and other reservoir parameters. The Polish Oil and Gas Co. is the operator and owns 51%; FX Energy owns 49% of the working interest.
