3Legs Announces Progress on Polish Shales

UK-based 3Legs Resources announced achievements at Lublewo LEP-1 vertical well and Strzeszewo LE-1 vertical well in Poland. 

‘Drilling commenced on the Lublewo LEP-1 well, our sixth well in the Baltic Basin, on 13 December 2013 and as at 15 December had reached a depth of 550 metres’ reads a note released on Tuesday.

The well is 19 km to the northeast of the Lebien LE-2H horizontal well drilled in 2011. At the same time the company said it successfully executed a single-stage hydraulic stimulation in Strzeszewo in the Ordovician Sasino shale. 

‘Post-frac evaluation indicates that the proppant was successfully delivered into the target formation; the well is now in a shut-in period in readiness for a flow test planned to commence before the end of December,’ the company explains in the press release.

Last month, ConocoPhillips and 3Legs Resources agreed to proceed with further drills and tests to assess flow rate potentials of the Sasino shale in Northern Poland. 

“We are making good progress early on in our recently announced 2013/14 drilling programme. The successful stimulation of the Sasino horizon in the Strzeszewo LE-1 well in particular is an exciting development that will provide an excellent opportunity to put our completion designs to the test. This will be key as we prepare for the long lateral well planned for the second quarter of 2014. We look forward to updating the market further in due course,” Kamlesh Parmar, Chief Executive of 3Legs Resources, commented.
