HOUSTON, May 31 -- Focus Energy Ltd., formerly Phoenix Overseas Ltd., reported a gas discovery on pre-NELP Block RJ-ON/6 in westernmost Rajasthan near the border with Pakistan.
The SGL-1 well, in the Shahgarh area of the Jaisalmer district, flowed 15 MMscfd of gas on a 48/64-in. choke from what the company called "excellent Cretaceous reservoir sandstones" at 3,100 m. Gas is 88-91% hydrocarbons, similar to that produced at Miano and Sawan fields in the Indus basin in Pakistan.
The amount of producible gas is yet to be ascertained, said New Delhi-baed Focus Energy. No gas pipeline is believed to exist in the vicinity of the discovery.
The company said it will work to exploit the discovery and drill deeper formations.
