Sino Gas & Energy Flows Gas from CBM Well in Linxing PSC

Sino Gas & Energy (SGE) on Thursday announced a flow rate of 1.2 million standard cubic feet (MMscf) per day from an unfracced lower zone of TB-26 on the Linxing PSC in Shanxi province in China.

The well has now been shut in for pressure build up testing, which will continue for approximately 10 days to gather reservoir information for Chinese Reserve Reporting purposes, the company said.

Commenting on the flow testing results Sino Gas’ Chief Operating Officer, Frank Fu said that the result was particularly encouraging, given that the testing was conducted in the prospective area of Linxing (West), which currently does not have any contingent resources or reserves assigned.

The flow test was also conducted on a less prolific lower zone, with these results representing a tenfold increase from that of the previous test, he added.

Sino Gas holds a 49% interest in Sino Gas & Energy Limited through the strategic partnership with MIE Holdings Corporation. SGE is the operator of the Linxing and Sanjiaobei PSCs in the Ordos Basin, Shanxi province.
