Angus Energy plc said it would make nominations for gas sales once it is satisfied of stable uninterrupted flow for at least eight hours, expected before the end of August, at Saltfleetby in Lincolnshire.
WELLS B2 & A4
The company added it had now introduced and processed well head gas throughout the combined extraction and condensate processing facility.
Well B2 had alone been delivering at an equivalent rate of 5 million standard cubic feet per day, “surpassing internal expectations”.
Angus expects deliverability to normalise with time.
The company said it would shortly introduce the stream from the A4 well.
STABLE FLOW
“The stream has been passed through the whole process plant including condensate stabilisation and storage tanks as well as gas analysis,” added the company in a statement.
“Specification gas has been achieved in short tests to date as has an export pressure of approximately 60 barg sufficient for entry into the national transmission system, or ‘grid’.
“The company will make nominations for gas sales when it is satisfied of stable flow, uninterrupted by electronic trips, for an extended period of time being not less than eight hours continuous flow which we strongly believe will occur before the end of August thereby meeting the current deadline under the company’s revised hedge arrangements as notified on 29 July 2022.”
