Galilee Energy to Test CSG Potential at Queensland Project

Galilee Energy is set to begin testing coal seam gas potential at Glenaras project in Queensland, Australia after successfully completing the workover program.

The workover program focused on five existing Glenaras pilot wells, the company said Friday.

Managing Director Peter Lansom said, “The completion of the workover program on time and under budget highlights that we are focused on delivering value at our foundation asset and proficient at executing on our strategy. We will now commence the exciting stage of production testing the R1 coal seam, which has the potential to unlock significant value for Galilee shareholders and convert contingent resources into reserves on successful results.”

The program involved setting a bridge plug below the R1 seam to isolate the lower seams previously tested in the pilot wells, then perforating the R1 coal seam and installing pumps.

Commissioning of the wells will now commence and production will be used to test the commercial flow potential of the uppermost R1 coal seam, Galilee said.

The program of production testing will take between six to nine months to complete. Successful results from the production testing will be crucial in converting the recently expanded Contingent Resources into reserves.
