Comet Ridge's Mahalo North pilot moves to gas production phase

Australian coalbed methane producer Comet Ridge on April 11 said that the production test at the Mahalo North pilot scheme in Queensland has now moved into the gas production phase.

The Mahalo North 1 well has seen a significant increase in gas pressure inside the casing annulus. “That gas pressure was bled off through the surface production facilities and used to commission the flare system which is now fully operational. A steady and gradually increasing flow of gas from the well is expected to be observed as testing continues,” Comet Ridge said.

The arrival of desorbed gas into the well, in conjunction with the significant water rates achieved, is verification of the quality of the reservoir and bodes well for the future production capability of these coals, it said.

Comet Ridge has tenement interests and a suite of prospective projects in Queensland and New South Wales. Its flagship Mahalo Gas Hub project consists of natural gas blocks close to Gladstone.
