Neptune connects new well at Adorf Carboniferous development
Neptune Energy Group Ltd. began production from its Adorf Z16 development well in Adorf Carboniferous gas field in Hoogstede, northwestern Germany.
The well reached final depth of 5,378 m in September 2021. The well has been connected to an onsite gas processing plant.
Initial production tests indicate flow rates up to 2,800 boe/d. The well is expected to increase Neptune’s production from the license to about 4,000 boe/d.
The operator is planning further field development with construction of a new well pad in the neighboring community of Georgsdorf. A third well is to be drilled in second-quarter 2022.
The field was discovered in 2020 and the first well, Adorf Z15, was brought into production in October the same year (OGJ Online, Nov. 2, 2020).
Neptune Energy is operator and 100% owner of the field.
