Tlou Energy (ASX: TOU) has started pilot production testing at its Selemo Pilot Pod in Botswana that is aimed at establishing stabilised gas and water flow rates.
Early indications are positive and consistent with the gaseous coals encountered during drilling operations.
The company is also drilling the Lesedi 1B well that will be directionally drilled 750 metres through the target coal seam to intercept the Lesedi 1P vertical pumping well which will then complete the Lesedi Pilot Pod.
Both pilot pods use the same approach that has been successful in the Queensland coal seam gas basins and is expected to facilitate faster and more efficient dewatering and gas drainage of the targeted coal seam.
Tlou has a 100% interest in the Karoo Central and Karoo West permits that cover about 7,000 square kilometres.
