L&M Energy chairman, Geoff Loudon, said this was a vindication of the potential for the Company?s CSG project to generate strong economic returns and was looking forward to building a strong commercial relationship with NZAS.
?We have been talking with our neighbours at NZAS for some time now and have recognised that they have very significant energy requirements in the form of electricity, Fuel Oil and Liquefied Petroleum Gas. We are looking forward to exploring all of these opportunities with NZAS as the CSG development progresses into the future,? Mr Loudon said.
The announcement follows on from the completion of the first stage of the Pilot Project: the successful intersection of thick coals via a 1,035m long lateral development well. The company has moved into the second stage of the Pilot and is commencing production testing operations.
The Pilot project follows on from the company?s 3P reserves upgrade to 274 PJ and forms a key part of the company?s 2P gas reserves campaign which is aimed at independently certifying New Zealand?s first tranche of 2P CSG reserves.
