ADX cheers Welchau-1 discovery as it sets the stage for future testing.
ADX Energy has declared its Welchau-1 exploration well as a discovery after logging tools revealed a high correlation between hydrocarbon shows and open fracture networks essential for well productivity over a large gross interval.
- Logging confirms correlation of hydrocarbon shows and open fracture networks that are the key to productivity over a 356m gross interval at Welchau-1
- Results are indicative of a discovery with potential for high well productivity
- Flow of gas and liquids to surface during sampling confirm that mobile hydrocarbons are present
- ADX is casing and suspending the well for testing in the coming months.
Further evidence that ADX Energy (ASX:ADX) might just have found what it was looking for came from the observation of liquid hydrocarbons and gas inflow at surface – a clear sign that mobile hydrocarbons are present.
ADX is now moving to case and suspend the well, though testing to determine if the discovery has the potential to achieve its pre drill potential will have to wait until later this year due to environmental permit commitments limiting drilling and testing to a strict period between October 1 and March 31.
Welchau-1 was drilled to test a best technical prospective resource of 807 billion cubic feet equivalent (Bcfe) of gas within relatively shallow reservoirs updip of the nearby Moln-1 gas discovery that flowed 4 million cubic feet of pipeline quality gas per day during testing.
The well intersected liquids (condensate) rich gas shows in the primary target Steinalm Formation from a measured depth of 1,452m, in line with pre-drill prognosis and adding confidence to the company’s structural model for the Welchau field.
Drilling risk was also mitigated by partner MCF Energy, which is funding half of the drill costs to a cap of €5.1 million ($8.46 million) in return for a 25% interest in the Welchau Investment Area.
“We will now run casing to protect the reservoir encountered in the well and look forward to coming back to test the well in accordance with previous environmental permit commitments to limit drilling and well testing during the period 1 October to 31 March.
“Environmental permitting for future operations will commence immediately. In between time, there is much analysis work to do on the data recovered to date from drilling, coring and logging to commence the evaluation of the resource potential at Welchau.
“The intervening period gives us the time to plan a testing program with a smaller, lower-cost workover rig that is appropriate for running testing equipment in cased hole at Welchau, as well assessing the undrilled deeper potential that may be accessed from this well.”
Forward program
ADX is now conditioning the well before running and cementing the 7-inch casing down to the total well depth for well suspension.
Tchacos says more detailed mapping will be undertaken on follow-up structures already recognised within the company’s acreage.
