FX Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: FXEN) has announced its progression on its set of Polish shale wells.
Lisewo Well
The Lisewo well has been drilled to total depth and logged, indicating a substantial pay zone with excellent porosity. The operator has elected to run a drill stem test at the gas water contact/transition zone this week. This will be followed next week by a full production test to determine the maximum open flow rate and the production rate. Additional information from the tests will be available following completion of these tests.
Lisewo is a 3-D defined Rotliegend structural target located in the Polish Oil and Gas Company's (PGNiG) 880,000 acre Fences concession in western Poland. PGNiG is the operator of the Lisewo well and owns 51%. FX Energy owns 49%.
