Leyshon Resources Encounters Multiple Pays Zone at China CSG Project

Leyshon Resources Limited’s wholly owned subsidiary Pacific Asia Petroleum Limited (PAPL) has completed the drilling and wire line logging of well ZJS6, the second well on its Zijinshan Gas Project on the eastern fringe of the prolific Ordos Gas Basin in Central China.

The initial results have indicated that about 80 metres of cumulative potential pay interval has been intersected across 15 potential pay zones. A production casing string has been installed which will provide multiple opportunities to conduct flow tests on selected potential pay zones. 

ZJS6 is located seven kilometres from ZJS5 and close to the southern boundary of the Zijinshan Production Sharing Contract (PSC). Wells ZJS5 and ZJS6 are part of an initial three well programme designed to explore and test the potential for commercial gas production in an unexplored central depression area that appears to show good continuity with the neighbouring Sanjiaobei discovery.

The company said that planning has significantly advanced for the 2013 exploration programme, scheduled to commence in mid-February. “This will initially focus on identifying the optimum location for the company’s third well, through the acquisition of further seismic data and from information from the first two wells.”

The 2013 programme is also expected to include a number of wells in addition to the current three well programme.
