PROCESSING PLANT

The company expects the Z18 well, in the Carboniferous formation, to increase production from the Adorf licence by about 1,900 barrels of oil equivalent per day to around 8,200 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 the same year.

The second well Adorf Z16 began production at the start of 2022, followed by third well Adorf Z17 which increased Neptune’s production to around 6,300 boepd in June 2023. 

Neptune owns 100% of the Adorf Carboniferous gas field.
