Galilee Energy has started production testing of the Hoffer B1 well in Lavaca County, Texas.
The examinations show that an interval of 200 ft has been identified for potential perforation and testing and another 10 may also undergo review to find the well’s full potential.
Open hole geophysical logs in the upper portion of the well are interpreted to demonstrate the presence of reservoir quality sandstones. These zones have the potential in their own right to deliver gas volumes consistent with pre-drill expectations.
In the lower zones, the cased hole logging suite provides less quantitative information on reservoir quality, but the identified zones have been correlated with mudlog gas shows to define gross sandstones which warrant testing, albeit with a lower level of expectation.
Importantly most of the zones identified for testing have seismic signatures which indicate extension across a broad area, potentially allowing for multiple well development.
This testing process is expected to take a number of weeks and results will be provided at the conclusion of the testing program.
Galilee has a 35% working interest in the well, reducing to 28% after payout.
