Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: Sumatra, Indonesia
Area: 4,819 square kilometres
Start-up Year: -
NuEnergy Gas has started hydraulic fracturing operations at its Muara Enim production sharing contract in Indonesia, in a step to advance first gas sales by the end of this year. A fracking programme using radial jetting techniques had begun in five new untested coal seams covering about 30 metres of gross pay. The programme is aiming to improve the production potential of the Suban coal seams, provide information for resource auditors to calculate reserves, and confirm the water and gas production characteristics across the full spread of coals underlying the PSC in Sumatra, Indonesia. The total lateral penetration exceeded 480 metres, with the programme expected to enhance production rates at the Muara Enim pilot project. Two pilot wells are expected to be added to the project during the second and third quarter 2013.
Muara Enim PSC is the highest priority for the company and is currently being drilled, logged and cored to evaluate the gas production qualities. Nearby holes have shown high gas output from the significant coal seams in the Muara Enim concession.
