Hartshead Resources NL’s (ASX:HHR) (FRA:P6V0) wholly-owned UK subsidiary, Hartshead Resources Limited, has awarded the contract for the frac modelling and design of horizontal multi-frac well completions, as part of the 2171 Bcf Phase I gas development project in the UK Southern Gas Basin, to Fenix Consulting Delft BV.
It has now completed the suite of contract awards for the initial stage of Field Development Planning for Phase I Concept Select.
Vast experience in designing, modelling fracs
Hartshead Resources chief executive officer Chris Lewis said: “We are delighted to have Fenix on board to assist with the frac design.
“Fenix have a vast experience in designing and modelling fracs for our reservoirs and I look forward to their valuable input to the project.”
Fenix business manager and partner, Bart Vos added: “We are very much looking forward to working with the team and creating value for Hartshead.”
Evaluation of successful fracs
Fenix will undertake an evaluation of the effectiveness of the three successful fracs historically executed on the Viking Wx and Victoria Gas Fields.
This will form the basis of new frac designs for the undeveloped parts of the gas fields and provide input to the reservoir model to enable optimisation of frac placement and well trajectories.
