Kinetiko Energy reported that its sixth pilot production well has commenced drilling at its Amersfoort JV with Badimo Gas. The well will test the gassy sandstones and CBM horizons identified in the exploration core holes drilled to date. Each well is anticipated to have a total depth of less than 450 meters to assess gas flow rates and ultimately well gas recovery within four-six weeks.
Due to the extensional geological structures in the region, the coals have relatively high permeability. Preliminary studies indicate that low volumes of produced water are expected from the production wells, given the geological and climatic characteristics of the region. Produced water has the potential with limited treatment to be used domestically.
Five exploration pilot test wells have been drilled and two continue to be tested on the Northern License (56ER). KA-03PT certified test results were announced to the ASX in March 2013.
