Operational Update
Ascent Resources plc, the AIM quoted European oil and gas
exploration and production company, updates shareholders on
operations at the Petisovci concession in Slovenia.
As previously announced, an operation on Pg-11A was completed in
March 2018 and the well was brought back into production on 28
March 2018.
To date production from the well has not been improved by the
operation. During the month the Company carried out additional
procedures to offload produced water, but these have not resulted
in any sustained improvement in production rates. The well
continues to produce significant quantities of liquid which is
restricting the rate at which gas is able to flow.
Production has been temporarily suspended from Pg-11A to
facilitate maintenance work on the export pipeline to rectify
issues resulting from water production. Further investigation will
take place into the underlying reasons for the presence of liquids
in the gas before a decision is taken on how best to remedy the
situation at Pg-11A.
Average daily production for April was 1.4 MMscfd which was in
line with March. Total production for April was 1,191,058 cubic
metres (42,062 MCF) compared to 1,242,948 cubic metres (43,894 MCF)
for March 2018.
The majority of April production came from well Pg-10. Pg-10 has
flowed continuously during the period.
