Kinetiko Energy (ASX: KKO) has now achieved gas flow from five out of six production test wells at its northern Amersfoort Project in South Africa after the sixth pilot well flowed 10,000 standard cubic feet of gas per day.
Notably, all five wells are producing gas unstimulated with two of them continuing to be tested.
The rapid and often spontaneous on set of gas from the 5 flowing wells is considered to be indicative of gas flowing mainly from conventional gas accumulations in the sandstones above the coals.
Optimised flow of seam gas from the coals is not expected to be achieved until multiple wells are drilled in test locations, which effectively lowers the hydrostatic pressure over a more significant area of coal seams.
The company is drilling another two pilot production wells in the current program. Testing of these wells is expected by the end of November.
