re: Ann: Sugarloaf Production and Operations ...
SUGARLOAF PRODUCTION AND OPERATIONS UPDATE Adelphi Energy Limited (Adelphi) is pleased to provide the following update on production and operations at the Sugarloaf Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) within the Sugarkane Gas & Condensate Field, Texas. Production Update The recently completed Morgan #1H and Easley #1H wells have now been on production for sufficient time to provide the following first 30 day production figures: Total Gas Production (mmscf) Total Condensate Production (bbls) Average Daily Equivalent Gas Rate (mmscfe/d)* Morgan #1H 109.4 38,500 19.97 Easley #1H 125.9 12,212 10.13 * The equivalent gas rates have been calculated to reflect value using a 12:1 conversion ratio for condensate and a 25% uplift on gas equivalent volumes due to the high calorific value of the produced gas. These additional production figures continue to be very encouraging for the economics of the field. Further production updates for these wells will be provided in quarterly reports going forward. Rancho Grande #1H Adelphi has been advised by the Operator that the multi-stage fracture stimulation operation of the Rancho Grande #1H well has now been completed and the well is presently unloading. A production update will be provided to the market once stabilised flow has been achieved. Kowalik #2H Adelphi has been advised by the Operator that the Kowalik #1H well location will be twinned with a new well, which is planned to spud in July 2010. This decision has been made in light of the sub-optimal original well design for the now preferred completion activities and the previously reported operational difficulties at the well. The Kowalik redrill will be the first of a number of Sugarloaf wells to be drilled during this calendar year where all Joint Venture partners will contribute to costs and derive revenue on a post farm out basis. ASX listed participants in the Sugarloaf AMI are: Adelphi (ASX: ADI) 10% (post farmout) Aurora (ASX: AUT) 10% (post farmout) Eureka (ASX: EKA) 6.25% (post farmout)
