Neptune Energy achieved first gas production from the Adorf Carboniferous development, the company said Nov. 2.
Results from appraisal well Adorf Z15 in the municipality of Emlichheim, northwestern Germany, underline “the great potential for future gas production within this region,” said Andreas Scheck, Neptune’s managing director in Germany. “It is one of the most promising gas discoveries in Germany in recent years,” he said.
Adorf Z15 reached final depth of 3,500 m in February 2020 (OGJ Online, Apr. 22, 2020). Production tests indicated flow rates of up to 1,700 boe/d (gross). A modern processing plant for treatment of the natural gas has since been constructed at the site.
Neptune is operator of Adorf field with joint venture partner Wintershall Dea. Neptune’s share in Adorf Z15 is 67%.
