Neptune Energy has begun first production from its operated Adorf Z17 gas well in Georgsdorf, northwest Germany.
GAS WELLS
The company expects the well to increase production from the Adorf licence by 1,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day to around 6,300 boepd.
Construction of a dedicated processing plant at the site for treatment of the gas was completed earlier this year.
The Adorf gas field was discovered in 2020 and the first well, Adorf Z15, was brought into production in October the same year.
A second well, Adorf Z16, increased Neptune’s production from the licence to around 4,500 boepd at the beginning of 2022.
Drilling of a fourth well, Adorf Z18, reached a final depth of 4,773 metres in April this year and is due to begin production in the third quarter of 2023.
Neptune Energy owns 100% of the Adorf Carboniferous gas field.
