Longtom 3 Offshore Well Records Gas Flows of 77 Million Cubic Feet of Gas + 324 BBLS of Condensate Per Day in Lower Sands on International TME Resources Inc. ORRI.DALLAS -- International TME See Tivoli Systems Management Software. Resources Inc. (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). :ITME ITME International Textile Machinery Exhibition (India) ) is pleased to report that the operator of VIC/P54 states that the final appraisal objective of the Longtom 3 well has been achieved with outstanding gas flows recorded during the second production test. This is a key milestone in the commercialization of the Longtom field. The test of the lower sands of the Admiral Formation ("100, 200 & 300 sands") flowed at an estimated rate of 77 Million cubic feet of gas per day through a 1 1/4" choke directly to the flare. The maximum flow rate using the test separator was 59 Million cubic feet of gas per day through a 60/64" choke with a flowing well head pressure of 2946 psi. Flow rates through the separator were limited by the capacity of the testing equipment. The well was opened up at 5 PM on Friday, September 15th and flowed for 24 hours Adv. 1. for 24 hours - without stopping; "she worked around the clock" around the clock, round the clock before being shut in to monitor the pressure response from the reservoir. An average condensate condensate, matter in the form of a gas of atoms, molecules, or elementary particles that have been so chilled that their motion is virtually halted and as a consequence they lose their separate identities and merge into a single entity. rate of 324 barrels per day Barrels per day (abbreviated BPD, bbl/d, bpd, bd or b/d) is a measurement used to describe the amount of crude oil (measured in barrels) produced or consumed by an entity in one day. was recorded during a flow period with a gas rate of 36 Million cubic feet of gas per day. The condensate ratios recorded from this test are approximately twice that recorded in the Longtom 2 test over the 200 sands, and 5 times those recorded in the Longtom 3, test #1 over the 400 sands. The results from this test demonstrate the excellent flow capacity of the lower Longtom reservoirs with a horizontal well completion. The flow capacity of Longtom 3 alone is expected to be sufficient to supply the anticipated maximum contract rate requirements for the Longtom Field. The 100, 200 and 300 sands are expected to hold approximately 80% of field gas volumes and will provide the main source of commercial production. Flow test #1 on the Longtom 3 well over the upper sands (400 reservoir sands) achieved an initial flow rate of approximately 30 Million cubic feet of gas per day before being choked back to achieve a stabilized rate. The shallower 400 sands tested (Longtom 3, test 1) are at lower pressure and are expected to be drained later in field life. The Longtom 3 H (Horizontal) well reached a total measured depth of approximately 15,335 feet. Drilling intersected a total of 3,379 feet of gross gas reservoir gas reservoir In geology, a naturally occurring storage area, characteristically a folded rock formation, that traps and holds natural gas. The reservoir rock must be permeable and porous to contain the gas, and it has to be capped by impervious rock in order to form an . Longtom 3 is expected to be the first of three production wells required for the field. One more Longtom well is planned prior to first commercial production. The Longtom 3 well is located in VIC/P54 on TME's ORRI ORRI Overriding Royalty Interest ORRI Orthorectified Radar Image ORRI Orlando Regional Rehabilitation Institute (Orlando, FL) of 15% of .1 percent on the total permit of 155,676 gross acres located offshore Australia in the Gippsland Basin. |
