Triple Energy to Frack China CSG Well

Triple Energy will frack and test the Yixin-1 well, located in its Aolong JV project in China's Hielongjiang province.

The company said that data from the well is not conclusive but encouraging. “Specifically, the gas readings from the core data, mud and wireline logs suggest that the coal seams below Seam#11 have sufficient indications of gas charge to justify a fracc and test operation over one or more seams.”

The data from Yixin-1 below Seam #11 are similar to those observed in Xian Xian-1 well drilled in 2013 and hence the re-entry of the Xian Xian-1 for fracking and testing is also under discussion, Triple Energy said.

Triple Energy holds an 80 percent interest in a JV with LongMay Coal Mining Company, one of China’s largest state-owned coal mining companies. The CJV has the objective of degassing the coal mining leases held by Longmay and has a life of 45 years.
