The Company is currently testing the flow rate with 128/64"
choke. The Company perforated 42 feet in H1 (DST-1), and will
perforate 30 feet in H2 (DST-2), 125 feet in H3 (DST-3), and 127
feet in H4 (DST-4). A further update will be provided with final
DST results in the coming weeks.
Serafino Iacono, Chief Executive
Officer of NGE, commented: "We are very pleased with the DST
results from the H1 Zone at Aruchara-3 and are working diligently
to continue testing the well in the H2, H3 and H4 zones which
include the 570 feet of net gas pay in a new area. With the strong
results from H1 and a very large area still to be tested, it is
anticipated that the Aruchara-3 well will allow the Company to
reach pipeline capacity."
