Lesedi 3 Building Pressure

Sunday, July 14, 2019

Tlou Energy saw its Lesedi 3 production pod successfully reach Critical Desorption Pressure (CDP). CDP is the pressure that gas begins to come out of the coal after a careful dewatering process. Gas is now starting to come out of the coal and is steadily building pressure inside the closed casing.

A short-term gas flow test at Lesedi 3 took place after a significant gas pressure build-up inside the well casing. The result of this test is considered by the Tlou to represent a positive indication of the pod’s potential.

Post the short-term test, dewatering has continued with the plan to hold the water level just above the coal and continue to draw down pressure in the well allowing gas to flow in a controlled manner, ideally leading to a long-term gas flow from the Lesedi 3 pod.
