Sino Gas & Energy Flows 2 MMscf/day of Gas from CBM Well in Linxing PSC

Sino Gas & Energy Holdings (SGE) on Wednesday announce that a flow rate of two million standard cubic feet (MMscf) per day has been achieved from a middle lower zone of TB-23 vertical well on the Linxing Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in Shanxi province in China.

The four metres pay zone was fracke on TB-23 in the prospective central-western portion of Linxing (West).

“The result represents the highest measured gas flow rate from a single fractured zone and is well in excess of the previously recorded maximum flow rate from the middle lower zone of approximately 230 thousand standard cubic feet per day. Seismic interpretation of the zone tested shows a high level of frequency across the acreage. Engineering planning is underway to connect the well into the pilot pipeline production program,” Sino Gas said.

Commenting on the result Sino Gas Chairman, Gavin Harper said “This is a tremendous result, which comes after careful analysis and review to optimise fracture stimulation treatment in recent months. It is the third in a series of successful tests on Linxing (West), with others including testing of a lower level unstimulated zone at TB-26 and the nine stage frac testing of the first horizontal well at TB-1H.”

Sino Gas holds a 49% interest in SGE through the strategic partnership with MIE Holdings Corporation. SGE is the operator of the Linxing and Sanjiaobei PSCs in the Ordos Basin, Shanxi province.
