"This is a good, natural gas flow rate and a pleasing result for the Dempsey Joint Venture. What's more, as Operator Sacgasco outlines in today's release, there are still more zones to test in the well.

ASX Announcement

Commercial Gas Flows From Dempsey 1

  • Commercial test rate of 1 million cubic feet gas per day from a field level Kione Sandstone interval;

  • Zone 4 testing preparations have commenced;

  • Kione gas flow expected to double SGC's operated gross Sacramento Basin production;

  • Production enhancement activities on other wells, including Dempsey area wells continues in order to further grow sales.

Sacgasco Limited (ASX: SGC) advises that flow-testing of the Dempsey 1-15 well from the field level Kione Zone has produced a commercial gas flow rate of 1 million cubic feet of gas (1,000 Mcf/day). The flow rate is very encouraging as it is water free natural gas, flowing through a 12/64" choke with flowing tubing pressure of 1140 PSI, and surface shut-in pressure exceeding 1300 PSI.

Operational considerations meant that perforating the Kione Zone ahead of Zone 4 would deliver significant benefits for the perforating of Zone 4 sands. Zone 4 testing preparations are underway. After testing Zone 4, Sacgasco plan to combine production from all flowing tested zones in the Dempsey 1-15 well; and anticipates very early cash flow as the gas sales infrastructure is already connected to the Dempsey well.

Sacgasco previously announced 4 gas saturated sand intervals at the field production level at Dempsey. The tested zone in the Kione referred to above is just one of those reported zones. Other intervals will be perforated at a future time to be determined by operational considerations. Options for testing of various other intervals in the Dempsey Well bore are being maintained.

Pancontinental Oil and Gas NL (ASX: PCL) 10%

Xstate Resources Limited (ASX: XST) 10%

Sacgasco's Managing Director Gary Jeffery commented: "The commercial flow rate from the Kione sand is as expected and most pleasing. It doubles Sacgasco's operated gross natural gas production deliverability in the Sacramento Basin without factoring in production from Zones 2 and 3, and potentially Zone 4.

Increasing production and therefore cash generation is consistent with Sacgasco's dual focus of growing production from our 27-well portfolio, and also drilling high impact development and appraisal, and exploration wells such as Alvares, Dempsey and other 'lookalike' prospects, that exist across our seven gas fields and leased acreage in the Sacramento Basin.

The Dempsey 1-15 well has a large column of gas saturated rocks and we still have multiple options to further develop the well and the surrounding gas reservoirs which will be assessed while Dempsey delivers valuable and material cash flow from production.

We look forward to the results from testing Zone 4 and reporting an aggregate flow rate once we combine flow from all zones. We also have an active well-work program in the Dempsey area and across the broader Sacgasco portfolio and this is likely to further increase production in the near term."
