Neptune spuds fourth well at Adorf Carboniferous development
Neptune Energy has spudded the Adorf Z18 gas production well in Adorf Carboniferous gas field, Georgsdorf, northwestern Germany.
The well is being drilled by KCA Deutag, with final depth of about 4,700 m expected to be reached in June this year.
The field was discovered in 2020 and the first well, Adorf Z15, was brought into production in October the same year. A second well, Adorf Z16, increased Neptune’s production from the license to around 4,000 boe/d at the beginning of 2022. The third well, Adorf Z17, reached its final depth at the end of 2022 and will be tested for production this quarter (OGJ Online, June 30, 2022). Construction of a modern treatment plant for natural gas from Adorf Z17 and Z18 is ongoing.
Neptune Energy is operator and 100% owner of the field.
