FX Energy Begins Drilling Gorka Duchowna-1 Well

FX Energy has commenced drilling on the Gorka Duchowna-1 exploration well in Poland. 

The well is a planned test of the Main Dolomite and Carboniferous horizons at a projected depth of 2,700 meters; the well is expected to reach total depth in the fourth quarter. The Gorka Duchowna-1 well is located in the northwest quadrant of the 240,000 acre Block 246 concession, where FX Energy is the operator and holds a 100% interest.

Main Dolomite and Carboniferous potential in the northwest quadrant of Block 246 is suggested by the nearby Bronsko and Koscian fields, located approximately 5 kilometers north, which reportedly contain approximately 1 Tcf of gas.

FX Energy also reported that the Lisewo-2 well is rigging up for an expected start of drilling next week, and site preparation is underway at the Szymanowice-1 well, which is expected to start drilling around the end of September. The Lisewo-2 and the Szymanowice-1 wells both are located in the Lisewo area of the Fences concession, where the Polish Oil and Gas Company (PGNiG) is the operator and holds 51% working interest and the Company holds 49% working interest.
