Tlou Energy is continuing its gas flow testing operations at its Lesedi CBM project in Botswana, the goal of which is to provide evidence of a sustainable gas production rate achievable from the field and develop the first wells flowing commercial rates of gas in Botswana.
Tlou successfully resumed gas flow testing and continues to see positive results. Production at its Selemo 4 is exceeding expectations and will potentially be a second key gas producer alongside Selemo 1. The company has conducted routine maintenance at the Selemo 1 gas well to enhance well communication.
Tlou Acting Managing Director Gabaake Gabaake said, “Following on from our encouraging initial gas flows at Lesedi, the data received from the Selemo 4 well is extremely encouraging with gas production exceeding our expectations. Positive gas flows have already been achieved from Selemo 1 and we are encouraged that significant gas is still expected to flow from the lateral wells.
“These positive results follow the recent announcement from the Botswanan Government that it is proposing the delivery of 100MW of CBM power to be incorporated into its future generation supply plans, which is particularly significant for Tlou as we are developing the most advanced CBM project in Botswana. I look forward to providing further updates on the progress of our gas flow testing in due course.”
