Hurricane Energy pleased with progress at Lancaster Field
Hydrocarbon fracking firm Hurricane Energy updated the market on its early production system development at the Lancaster Field on Friday, reporting that well re-entry and completion operations had now begun under the control of Petrofac Facilities Management, which is the well operator.
The AIM-traded company said the operations would utilise Transocean's Paul B. Loyd Jr. harsh environment semi submersible rig.
Following the rig's previous assignment and mobilisation to the Lancaster field, it underwent a required period of blowout preventer maintenance before the commencement of well completion operations, the board explained.
The Lancaster early production system would use two currently-suspended horizontal wells - 205/21a-6 and 205/21a-7Z - which were previously drilled and tested in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
Hurricane said the 205/21a-6 well tested at 9,800 stb/d and the 205/21a-7Z well tested at 15,375 stb/d.
Those rates were achieved using electrical submersible pumps, Hurricane explained, and were constrained by the capacity of surface test equipment.
During the operations, the wells would be completed with dual pod electrical submersible pumps, it said.
"It's pleasing to see further progress being made on another element of the Lancaster EPS," said Hurricane CEO Dr Robert Trice.
"We look forward to continuing to build on our strong relationship with Petrofac and Transocean, with whom we completed our highly successful 2016-2017 drilling campaign."
