The Lewino 1G-2 well, which is operated by Talisman Energy, has been drilled to 3,600m and encountered gas shows over more than 1,000m in the middle and lower Silurian shales, Ordovician and upper Cambrian.

According to the company, gas shows consist of methane (C1) with a small percentage of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane (C2-C5+).

Talisman Energy took over 310m of core from the well to evaluate the rock properties and has also performed an open hole logging program to evaluate the potential of the area.
