RNS Number : 5516S Pennpetro Energy PLC 07 November 2023
Pennpetro Energy PLC
("PPP" or "Pennpetro")
Pennpetro Announces First Oil Trucked from Chalk Talk 1H Well in Texas
Highlights:
· First 2 tankers of 33 API oil trucked from Chalk Talk #1H well
· Chalk Talk #1H well site and the oil facilities at Whistling
Straits #5H site commissioned
· Testing continues with initial oil production averaging around
100 bopd
· Workover rig for PPP's Chalk Talk #4H well booked for early
December
London, 7 November 2023 - Pennpetro Energy PLC (LSE: PPP), an independent oil
and gas company focusing on development and production in the Peach Creek
(Austin Chalk) Oil Field in Gonzales County, Texas, USA, advises that further
to its RNS dated 30 October 2023, the Chalk Talk #1H ("CT1H") well has been on
extended well test, the first two truckloads (170 bbls each) of 33 API oil
have been dispatched from the oil storage facilities at the Whistling Straits
#5H facility located 1,000 feet from the CT1H well.
The CT1H well site and oil storage facilities at WS5H site are now
commissioned.
Initial oil production testing is now consistently yielding between 90 bopd -
110 bopd, which is significantly above the well's July 2022 shut in rate of
around 15-20 bopd. This increase can be put down to the workover rig
successfully cleaning out a number of bridge plugs (or blockages) below the
bottom of the casing.
The well's production is still being optimised over this extended testing
period and the Company will advise of flow rates and decline curves in due
course.
Tom Evans, Pennpetro Energy's CEO said:
"Needless to say, the Company is very pleased with how the Chalk Talk 1H well
is performing with the first oil tankers leaving site. The flow rates seen far
exceeded our expectations, especially compared to its flow rates when the well
was shut in over a year ago. We have also now booked the workover rig to be on
site at our new Chalk Talk #4H well for early in December. Ideally, we would
like to end this 2023 Calendar year with 2 wells on production. That is what
our US management team are working towards. Then straight into the New Year,
efforts will swing towards bringing our City of Gonzales #1 well and Whistling
Straits #5H well online. I look forward to making regular updates over the
coming weeks during this busy time in Texas."
