Enegi Oil says that operations have now re-commenced at the PaP#1-ST#3 well at Garden Hill South, in Newfoundland, Canada..

The well initially flowed at a rate of between 580 to 600 bopd plus associated gas, on a 32/64th choke, that is, the well was choked back by 50%.

Data obtained when the well was brought on line in January 2009, suggests that if the well is flowed at full capacity, the wellbore pressure will decline steeply, reducing the time the well can produce. Taking these parameters into account, the well will now be choked back further and the wellbore pressure carefully monitored. The intention is to gather data for further operations and to find the highest flowrate the well can sustain without a steep drop in wellbore pressure, so that oil and gas production is maximised.

Alan Minty, CEO of Enegi Oil said, “We are delighted that the well is now flowing, albeit on an interval basis. With the continued development programme that we are planning we believe that the well’s full potential will soon be realised. In addition to developing Garden Hill South, we are continuing to implement our plans to de-risk and add value to the other assets in our portfolio. The coming months will be an exciting time for the Company.”
