The company said that ten separate zones were successfully fracture stimulated along the 1350m of horizontal wellbore.
An initial production rate of 17mmscf/d was recorded on Trzek-2 on a short term test, compared with an initial production rate of 7.5mmscf/d recorded for the Trzek-1 vertical well on a similar short term test in 2007.
On completion of the well clean-up process, a 2-day shut-in period will take place, and then the well will be flowed for up to a further 30 days.
From this, a stabilized flow rate will be ascertained, and that figure will be used by the company to estimate an ultimate recovery from the well.
Trzek-3 is currently drilling ahead at approximately 2500m, with the vertical pilot hole and the horizontal section expected to be completed by late May or early June 2011.
Hydraulic fracturing operations will then follow, with stabilized flow test results expected by late June or early July.
The Siekierki project is located on the Poznan licenses, which are 100% held by Energia Zachod, a company owned 90% by Aurelian and 10% by Avobone.
