Tlou Energy has decided to expand its testing procedures in Botswana on the Lesedi CBM project. Testing procedures have been expanded to include the Selemo 2 and Selemo 4 wells in addition to Selemo 1 which commenced flow testing in Q1 2016.
The initial plan was to flow sustained gas from Selemo 1 and then proceed to build flows from Selemo 2 and 4. This method was chosen by the company’s production consultants based on knowledge gained from other reservoirs and also to reduce any potential risk of damaging the reservoir with a more aggressive strategy.
The production data has since indicated however, that it is possible to bring on all three wells concurrently without significant risk of damaging the formation or jeopardizing the chances of flowing gas at economic levels from Selemo. Tlou said that although still at an early stage, the data gathered to date is very promising and is some of the best it has seen since flow testing was initiated.
The company also said that it is in talks with relevant government authorities in regards to its application for a gas-to-power pilot project. The company’s MD, Gabaake Gabaake, said the team is “working very hard and we remain on target to deliver on our goals.”
