Angus Energy plc has completed the initial clean up of the new B7T well at Saltfleetby in Lincolnshire.
PRODUCTION
The company said that the well was producing from an approximately 185m horizontal section in the main Westphalian reservoir at a vertical depth of 2292m.
Following first production on 31 March the company has been cleaning up drilling fluids via a temporary production system to a flare.
The initial clean up ended with a multi-rate flow test last week.
“Based on the results we have concluded that at present, the well is capable of 4-5 mmscfd at a FWHP of 30 barg flowing into the system with the two other wells,” added Angus.
“We are expecting the well to clean up further which is likely to raise that flow rate in the future.
“Whilst producing through a temporary connection, the new well flowline will be constructed to enable full plateau production this summer.”
