Kinetiko Flows Gas from Sixth South Africa Well

Kinetiko Energy has flowed gas from five out of six production test wells drilled on its northern exploration right 56ER at it Amersfoort Project in South Africa.

The sixth well, KA-06PT has successfully flowed gas at a rate of 10,000scf/day.

Two of the five holes continue to be flow tested (KA-03PTR and KA-06PT). The other three have been shut in awaiting a decision on further testing in their vicinity.

The rapid and often spontaneous on set of gas from the five flowing wells is considered to be indicative of gas flowing mainly from conventional gas accumulations in the sandstones above the coals.

Optimised flow of seam gas from the coals is not expected to be achieved until multiple wells are drilled in test locations, which effectively lowers the hydrostatic pressure over a more significant area of coal seams.

This current hole KA-06PT was the first of 3 holes in the current exploration work program. It is anticipated that the two remaining holes will complete testing by the end of November.
