FAUSSE POINT UPDATE?MOVING TO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION |
8 April 2010
The Board of Golden Gate Petroleum Ltd (ASX:GGP) advises that significant progress has been made in preparing the T.G.R. Land Company, Inc #1 well at Fausse Point for commercial production.
The drill site has been converted to a production facility with the construction of a permanent pad. Production equipment has been moved on site and is being assembled in order to commence production from the initial interval tested at 8,370 feet.
The road to the production facilities is currently being made permanent and designed for access to a second drill site for a follow up well to the initial discovery.
A short pipeline to the main meter station is currently being worked on. Surface access, meter station upgrades and pipe acquisition have been organised. Actual pipeline construction is planned for the end of this month with production beginning in May.
Further geoscience work is being conducted on the data from the initial well along with additional information including more seismic data on the Fausse Point salt dome. This work will provide a better indication of the potential size of the discovery and the best path to gauge and develop the overall commercial potential.
Analysis to date indicates that the lowest zone (8,370 feet) is possibly connected to a much larger hydrocarbon accumulation, and that this well has only just penetrated the edge of this larger accumulation. While this zone now being completed for production was not an original target of this well, it has the potential to represent a new play type.
The two primary target objectives of the well that were intercepted at the shallower depths and were hydrocarbon bearing will also be evaluated from the added seismic data and tested in due course.
