Tlou Energy Completes Third Core Hole at Botswana CBM Project

Tlou Energy has announced that coring of D3-3X, the third and final core-hole of the three well coring program at the Lesedi CBM project area in Botswana, was completed on 1st April 2014.

“The core-holes intersected well-developed coal sequences throughout the Serowe, Morupule and Kamotaka formations. Coal quality and thickness results are in-line with pre-drill expectations. A total of 80 coal gas desorption tests have been captured across the three core-holes,” the company said.

According to the company early results for the Lower Morupule coal seam, the main target reservoir, are particularly encouraging.

“Once gas desorption testing has been completed, a series of additional tests will be conducted on the core such as isotherm testing and coal petrographic analysis,” the company added.

Early results from the core-holes complement Tlou’s existing knowledge of the Lesedi CBM project area. The new core-hole data will assist with initial reserves certification in the Lesedi CBM project area and the identification of future drilling sites.
