Project Profile
Location: East of Milan
Production capacity: Restricted to 5000 cubic metres of gas per day
Start up year: 2009
The Castello field has an estimated reserve life of around 10 to 12 years while Sillaro has a life of between 15 to 20 years. Castello, is scheduled to be the Company\'s first gas field in commercial production. The field was drilled in 2005 at a location updip from the former ENI Agnadello well, which produced 13 billion cubic feet of gas (bcf) over a period of five years in the 1980s. The Castello gas field was then successfully tested by Po Valley in Vitalba-1 well over two gas bearing levels early in 2006. Flow rate testing of the two levels, San A1 and San A2, produced flows of 2.8 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) on a 1/4 \" choke. The field will be a single well development connected to the grid some 800 metres away.
