Neptune spuds second Adorf well in Germany
Neptune Energy has spudded the Adorf Z16 gas development well in northwest Germany, its second borehole targeting the Adorf Carboniferous gas field, the company announced on April 19.
A rig operated by KCA Deutag is drilling the well, which is expected to reach a final depth of around 3,400 m in August this year. Neptune discovered the Adorf Carboniferous last year, bringing its first well AdorfZ15 into production in November.

AdorfZ16's launch will double Neptune's daily production at the field to around 3,700 barrels of oil equivalent, the company's managing director in Germany, Andreas Scheck, said in a statement.
"Following the field’s discovery last year, this ongoing activity underlines our commitment to invest in the region," he said. "The Adorf carboniferous field development is one of our most promising activities in Germany and demonstrates our desire to grow our business here."
Neptune is the 100% owner of Adorf Carboniferous. It recently closed the purchase of interests in several oil and gas fields in western Germany from Wintershall Dea, raising its output in the country by 10%.
