Provisional results of the flow test in the first offshore production test
- Duration of gas production: approximately 6 days
- Cumulative volume of gas production: approximately 120,000m3
- Average volume of gas production: approximately 20,000m3/day
*Above numbers are all provisional and will be revised.
Reference: Results of the onshore production test conducted by depressurization method in Canada in 2008
- Duration: approximately 5.5 days
- Cumulative production: approximately 13,000m3
- Average production: approximately 2,400m3/day
*Fluctuation in daily gas production varied approximately between 2,000 and 4,000m3/day.
With respect to progress of the first production test, please refer the following previous news releases.
