Polish Oil and Gas Co. (PGNiG) expects to ultimately add about 24 million cu m/year to its natural gas output with production from Mielec–Bojanow fields.
The Korzeniówek 2-K appraisal well was drilled in the village of Pustków, in the Debica district in Podkarpackie, Poland.
Exploration work began in the area in late 2017 with the spudding of Korzeniówek-1K (OGJ Online, Jan. 17, 2018). The recorded flow of high-methane natural gas is typical of the Carpathian Foredeep basin Miocene formation, the region’s prevalent geological structure, the company said.
Annual gas production from Korzeniówek-2K is estimated at 17.4 million cu m, plus some 6.6 million cu m from Korzeniówek-1K.
Both wells will be brought on stream via the existing infrastructure of the Pilzno gas production facility. PGNiG is analyzing the geological and formation data which will influence its decision to continue exploration work in the area.
