Angus Energy plc has increased production by more than 75% with the planned commissioning of the second compressor at Saltfleetby gas field in east Lincolnshire.
MILESTONE
Dual compressor mode began on 10 May and the three producing wells of B2, A4 and the new B7T, have since been flowing gas to the National Grid at the combined average daily rate of 9.5 mmscfd.
Angus said that the figure represented more than a 75% increase in production over that achieved in the first quarter of this year.
The new B7T well is producing between 4-5 mmscfd through the temporary flowline with stable flow as it continues to clean-up.
“The achievement of our goal of putting 3 wells in production through the Saltfleetby facility is very satisfying and represents an important milestone for the company as it positions for strong cash flow generation and growth in the future,” added chief executive Richard Herbert.
“I am very grateful to the Angus team for all their hard work to deliver this great progress.”
