Oil group San Leon energy says it has found frackable gas plays at its unconventional operation in Poland.
The company said it the tight gas sand tests at its Siciny-2 well, southeast of Zielona Gora, indicated similar properties to those found in the USA.
Testing of the site has been underway since May, with a recently completed one finding frackable rock and a slight overpressure in the carboniferous sand.
San Leon is to evaluate the results pf the diagnostic fracture injection test in Denver before starting a fracking scheme for the site.
“We are delighted with the results of this DFIT, indicating an effective formation permeability in excess of 1000 times that of the first DFIT,” said chairman Oisin Fanning.
“The reservoir properties of the carboniferous tight gas sand appear to be in line with highly attractive tight gas sand plays in the US.”
