PGNiG to drill horizontal shale well

摘要

Poland's state-controlled natural gas company PGNiG plans to drill its first horizontal shale gas well later this year to test deposits in the onshore Baltic basin, a company official said June 7.The Lubocino-2H horizontal well in the Wejherowo concession will give the company important data on the gas potential of the Silurian and Ordovician shales, Jerzy Stopa, a reservoir engineer at PGNiG, said at the World Gas Conference in Kuala Lumpur.PGNiG holds 15 shale gas concessions in the country's Ordovician and Silurian shales, the highest number held by a single company.PGNiG said last September that the fracking of the first well Lubocino-1, on the Wejherowo concession, had been successful, proving the "potential for substantial shale gas horizons".
