Petromin Resources Ltd says that TerraWest Energy Corp (TWE), is moving forward with exploration activities in the field at its Liuhuanggou coalbed methane (CBM) project (2012 Field Program) in Xinjiang, The People's Republic of China (China). The 2012 Field Program involves drilling, casing and completing production wells at two key selected locations.

Drilling at well LHG12-02 is expected to begin on 2 November 2012. The well is located in the vicinity of previously drilled well LHG10-02 which intersected multiple gas-bearing Jurassic Badaowan (J1B) coal seams and shale. The control well for the 2010 well was a coring drill-hole which provided core samples for testing and analysis in China and North America. Several gas-bearing targets were identified based on the sampling and analysis results.

Well LHG12-02 is located such that a multiple pilot production configuration can be considered in the future. Completion of the well and any subsequent testing of target coal seams and formations will follow after evaluation of results.
