Aurelian Targets Siekierki South-West

Aurelian Oil and Gas announced that the first Siekierki South-West well, Krzesinki-1, was spudded on 24th June 2011

The fourth well to be drilled in the Greater Siekierki appraisal programme, it will test a structural high six kilometres south west of the core area where Trzek-1, 2 and 3 wells have been drilled.

The structure lies on trend and to the north of a number of conventional Rotliegendes fields developed by PGNiG and FX Energy in the licence to the south.

Aurelian said that it was therefore possible that a discovery could be developed without any requirement for the fraccing technology which was utilised in the core area.

The well is expected to take three months to reach target depth of 4,150 metres and is targeting mid case net resources to Aurelian of 44bcf with an upside case of 465bcf.

The Siekierki project is located on the Poznan licences which are held as to 100% held by Aurelian.
