Vintage Energy Starts Flow Testing of Queensland Well
Sydney-listed Vintage Energy on August 13 announced it has started flow testing of the Vali-1 ST1 well in Queensland.
Vintage said that a strong gas flare continued to be observed throughout the whole of the flow-back period. “Recovery of the injected stimulation fluids reached approximately 53%, with the gas rate reaching 4.9mn ft3/day through a 42/64“ choke at a well head pressure of 680 psi. The well was shut-in once the recovery rate of stimulation fluid had dropped sufficiently for the well testing to commence,” it said.
The ATP 2021 joint venture (Vintage 50% and operator, Metgasco Ltd 25% and Bridgeport 25%) awarded the Vali-1 ST1 fracture stimulation activities to Condor Energy Services. The six-stage fracture stimulation of Vali-1 ST1 well was completed late last month. The Vali discovery in Queensland was announced in January this year.
