Turbocharged TMK Mongolian gas production hits | Australian Markets

TMK Power has turbocharged its document run with a additional 14 per cent soar in fuel manufacturing final month to 9100 cubic metres at its Pilot Effectively project, which is an element of the company’s wider Gurvantes XXXV coal seam fuel project in southern Mongolia.

Persevering with with the document theme, the company additionally revealed it smashed out a new document day by day fuel quantity of 465 cubic metres on March 4.

The company recorded a vital increase in fuel manufacturing in January as a consequence of its three new Fortunate Fox wells, LF-04, LF-05 and LF-06 coming online. January’s document 8000 cubic metres of fuel manufacturing blasted its earlier high to oblivion, notching up a 40 per cent increase above its best-ever stage at Pilot Effectively.

February’s figures now put January’s numbers within the shade.

TMK says the reservoir strain continues to say no in the direction of important desorption ranges, with an total enchancment within the depressurisation of the reservoir. The decline was confirmed final month by a strain build-up take a look at.

Administration says a key goal this yr is to scale back the reservoir strain beneath the important desorption strain, which is why it drilled the three extra manufacturing wells. Fuel charges are anticipated to increase considerably when the target is achieved.

The wells present the additional pumping capability needed to rapidly attain the important desorption pressures for the project to ship an quick uplift in fuel manufacturing.

Notably, fluid ranges in 5 of the six wells have diminished to design ranges and pump speeds are being diminished due to the decrease water manufacturing ranges.

The company’s new manufacturing document was achieved regardless of one of its higher manufacturing wells, LF-05, recording about 67 per cent downtime for a pump clean-out and workover. LF-05 is the only properly not producing at its design fluid stage.

Administration believes it now has enough knowledge to actively handle the pump speeds in every of the wells to make sure it maintains the right water ranges and water manufacturing ranges in every of the wells, in step with TMK’s reservoir management plan.

With the drop within the wells’ water manufacturing charges, pump speeds are being decreased slowly to make sure water manufacturing stays above minimal ranges to take care of environment friendly pump operation.

We now have efficiently operated the Pilot Effectively project via a second very cold and hard winter. This demonstrates that the higher development of this huge new coal seam fuel useful resource may be very achievable in Mongolia. We stay extremely assured that the Pilot Effectively project will affirm a commercially viable useful resource within the coming months.

The company says the current implementation of superior Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology in wells LF-05 and LF-06 is offering it with priceless info on reservoir productiveness, with preliminary interpretation of its knowledge exhibiting a giant portion of the reservoir is producing fuel and water effectively. No warning indicators have been kicked up from the information evaluation to this point.

The DTS technology is designed to determine zones of elevated fuel and water inflow, or permeability, for elevated financial viability.

The company says it expects to shortly produce industrial charges of fuel from the project, consisting of 60 sq. kilometres within the Nariin Sukhait space of the huge Mongolian countryside.

It believes the Gurvantes XXXV project can quickly turn into a regionally vital, dependable source of natural fuel for each Mongolia’s home market and the regional power infrastructure.

The project’s proximity to northern China’s fuel pipelines locations TMK in an enviable place and probably positions it as an rising key participant within the regional power panorama.

Mongolia is eager to transition away from power produced from burning coal. Coal seam fuel is taken into account excellent as a “clean transition fuel” as a result of it produces about half the carbon emissions produced by coal-generated electrical energy and burns cleaner than different fossil fuels.

TMK says it has found a “world-class” coal seam fuel useful resource in Mongolia, comprising superior technical attributes to many of its friends’ developed initiatives.

The contingent useful resource (2C) of 1214 billion cubic toes (BCF) of natural fuel is Mongolia’s greatest, based on the company. Administration believes it possesses vital exploration upside potential exterior its core space, with a 5300 BCF potential useful resource throughout its whole 8400-square-kilometre ground.

If TMK can proceed its record-setting development, it might be on a pathway to turning into a priceless contributor to the area’s huge future power necessities.
