Energy, Talisman's wholly owned subsidiary, completed the Andrews
Hz #1 gas well in the Corning area. The well, which tested a new
structure, was drilled to 10,100 feet and then steered horizontally
through the upper Black River formation.
Fortuna
reported that the well flowed at rates of greater than 18 mmcf per
day; flow rates were limited by surface equipment, according to
the company.
Based on
initial flow results, the company said that the Andrews well has
an unconstrained potential of greater than 30 mmcf per day.
