RockRose Energy: Production Commences on A18-A5 Well, Netherlands
Wednesday 5 December 2018
RockRose Energy, the independent oil and gas company, announced that the Petrogas operated A18-A5 well has been successfully drilled and completed on time and within budget and is now on production.
The A18-A5 well targeted Pleistocene aged stacked marine sands, specifically the Q3.2 and Q4 sand units. Production at the A18 Field to date has been from the older Q6A, Q7 and Q8 sand units.
The Q4 reservoir came in as prognosed demonstrating a test rate of 320,000 Nm3/d (12 mmscfd) with the Q3.2 above expectation demonstrating rates of 480,000 Nm3/d (18 mmscfd). This implies an unconstrained comingled production rate of >700 boepd net to RockRose. A18-A5 is constrained at 20 mmscfd due to infrastructure limits of 75mmscfd (13,040 boepd) gross, and therefore the asset will be producing at a platform plateau for considerably longer than anticipated. These constraints give a net rate of 200-250 boepd to RockRose, which underpins production from our Netherlands assets for the next couple of years.
A18-A5 and the ongoing workovers on A12, will bring the AB area back to a facilities constrained plateau of 135 mmscfd gross (3,400 boepd net to RockRose).
