Neptune Energy started production from the Adorf Z18 gas well in Adorf Carboniferous gas field, Georgsdorf, northwestern Germany.

The well is in the Carboniferous formation and is expected to increase production from the Adorf license by about 1,900 boe/d to about 8,200 boe/d.

Adorf gas field was discovered in 2020 and the first well, Adorf Z15, was brought into production in the same year. A second well, Adorf Z16, started production at the beginning of 2022. A third well, Adorf Z17, increased Neptune’s production from the license to around 6,300 boe/d in June 2023 (OGJ Online, May 25, 2023).

Neptune Energy is operator and 100% owner of the field.
