:ITME ITME International Textile Machinery Exhibition (India)  - News) is pleased to report that the operator of VIC-P54 states that the 1st production test on the Longtom 3 well over the upper sands (400 reservoir sands) has been achieved. The well was opened up at an initial flow rate of 30 Million cubic feet of gas per day before being choked back to achieve a stabilized rate.

The well was flowing at 23 Million cubic feet of gas per day through a 1" choke with a flowing well head pressure of 1200 psi. The Upper Sands that did not flow test in the previous Longtom 2 well. The Longtom 3 well is being tested over the 400 reservoir sand interval; this is the same sand interval in which gas flow was not achieved in the Longtom 2 well.

The results from this test in the Longtom 3 are extremely positive as they confirm the flow potential of the 400 reservoir sand in the Longtom Gas Field, addressing a major concern leading up to the drilling of the Longtom 3 well. A gas flow was not achieved in the 2nd test of the Longtom 2 well, a test that the operator had interpreted to have failed due to down hole mechanical problem.

After completion of this test the 400 reservoir sand interval will be isolated and the well prepared for a combined test of the lower sands 100, 200 & 300 reservoir sands completed predominantly in the horizontal section of the well. Following the testing of the lower reservoir sands the Longtom 3 well will be suspended as a future gas producer. The results of the second test are expected to be available over the next week. The Longtom-3 H (Horizontal) well reached a total measured depth of approximately 15,335 feet. The well 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
 on the block.

Planned future well operations are to complete and flow test both the upper and lower gas sands to confirm their productivity. The operator of VIC/P54 is confident that Longtom will proceed to full field development. The operator believes that the Longtom 3 well has helped to define a substantial reserves base and a full field development decision is likely to be made by late 2006. It is expected reserves base will continue to be further enhanced by the drilling of a second Longtom development well planned for late 2007.
