Dimensions West successfully tests Bangkudulis No. 1 well Anyonew following this company???.. any thoughts?. Dimensions West Energy Inc DWM Shares issued 11,312,493 Mar 19 close $0.10 Tue 23 Mar 99 News Release Mr. Ian Lambert reports The company's majority owned unit, GAT Bangkudulis Petroleum Company Ltd., has successfully recompleted and tested a gas zone in the Bangkudulis No. 1 well in the Bangkudulis field, onshore East Kalimantan, Indonesia. GATB conducted the gas tests after first working over the Bangkudulis No. 1 well as reported in Stockwatch Nov. 23, 1998. During the workover the Bangkudulis No. 1 well was recompleted in a 60-feet thick sand, the B46 sand, at a 4,600-foot depth. The B46 sand flowed gas when originally tested in 1980 and the purpose of the recompletion was to obtain gas production for use in gas-lift pumping of four oil zones in the same well. After the workover, GATB successfully tested the recompleted B46 sand zone at a sustained rate of seven million cubic feet per day on 318-inch choke together with 150 barrels per day of condensate. The well was tested over a continuous 48-hour flow period and stabilized wellhead flowing pressure was 1,490 pounds per square inch. Gas analysis indicates that the tested gas is rich in natural gas liquids and contains only trace amounts of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and sulphur. By weight the gas is 86 per cent methane and 12 per cent combined liquefied petroleum gas and naphtha fractions. Since gas required for the company's planned gas-lift operations need only be methane, the company is planning to conduct a series of week-long isochronal tests of the B46 sand gas zone to further assess available reserves and deliverability. The tests will be undertaken with a view to justifying the installation of a gas liquids shipping unit on the Bangkudulis No. 1 well to recover LPG and naphtha from the gas production stream prior to using the dry gas for gas-lift purposes. Ready markets for sales of LPG and naphtha exist near the company's operations, the LPG for the bottled fuel gas market and the naphtha as a petrochemical feedstock. Currently local prices for these two commodities average $1.30 (U.S.) per gallon for the LPG and naphtha fetches a premium of $3.50 (U.S.) per barrel over market crude oil price. | ||||||||||||||
