Angus Energy plc has restarted oil production and water reinjection at the Brockham oil field within PL235, in the Portland reservoir, near Dorking in Surrey.
OPTIMISATION
The company, which holds an 80% interest in the project, added that current average rates of production from the BRX2-Y well were 50 barrels of oil per day with an approximately equal amount of formation water produced and reinjected daily into BRX3.
“Presently the site now has over 400 barrels stored for sale,” said Angus in a statement yesterday.
“Some further minor additions to site equipment are planned to optimise production over the coming weeks.
“Plans for a reperforation of the BRX4-Z well in the Portland reservoir, which would also involve abandonment of the Kimmeridge layer in that well, for which planning permission was recently obtained, are being discussed with our other regulators.”
The restart of production follows Environment Agency approval in April 2022.
