• Completions rig activities completed.
• Surface facilities including separator and metering skids along with flowlines ready for installation.
• Mid-June start-up of production testing still on track.

Galilee Energy Limited is pleased to provide an update on completion operations at the Glenaras multi-lateral pilot programme.

As previously announced, Easternwell Rig 101 successfully completed the multi-lateral drilling campaign with the drilling of Glenaras 10L, 11L and 12L earlier this month. Over the past week, the completions rig has successfully installed downhole electric submersible pumps (ESP’s) in Glenaras 10L and 12L.

Concurrent with drilling operations, all surface facility skids have been constructed and are ready for installation. The water production flowline connecting the pilot to the Glenaras holding pond has also been constructed and tied in at surface. Now that completion rig activities are finished, the surface facilities and lease flowlines will be installed with production start-up remaining on schedule for mid-June.

The pilot will be on production for an extended period to de-water and lower the pressure in the surrounding coal to achieve gas flow. This process is likely to take 4-6 months.
