Angus Energy today announced the completion of the initial clean up of the new B7T well at Saltfleetby. This well is producing from an approximately 185 m horizontal section in the main Westphalian reservoir at a vertical depth of 2292m.

The well first produced on the 31st March and the Company has since been cleaning up drilling fluids via a temporary production system to a flare. This work has now concluded. The initial clean up ended with a multi-rate flow test last week.

Based on the results Angus have concluded that at present, the well is capable of 4-5 mmscfd at a FWHP of 30 barg flowing into the system with the two other wells. The company are expecting the well to clean up further which is likely to raise that flow rate in the future. Whilst producing through a temporary connection, the new well flowline will be constructed to enable full plateau production this summer.
