Summary
The document discusses the early success of Botala Energy Ltd's Serowe CBM Project, particularly focusing on the Pitse Pilot well 3.5B in Botswana. The well has shown a strong initial reservoir response following stimulation, with a significant water production rate and casing pressure, indicating effective connectivity with the coal reservoir. The water level remains significantly above the target, suggesting further potential for reservoir pressure reduction and increased gas desorption. The project aims to establish a scalable CBM-to-LNG production pathway, supporting energy needs in Southern Africa, with ongoing testing and optimization efforts across the wellfield.
Key Points
  • Early reservoir response from principal production well Pitse Pilot well 3.5B.
  • Pitse Pilot well 3.5B shows approximately 6 psi of casing pressure.
  • High water production rate of approximately 200 barrels per day.
  • Significant drawdown potential remains with water level 210m above target.
  • Positive response from the Upper Morupule seam at well 3.3.
  • Production testing and optimization continue across the Pitse Pilot wellfield.
  • Botala Energy Ltd plans further completion and remediation work at other wells.
  • Project Pitse is the first phase to demonstrate commercial CBM production.
  • Botala Energy Ltd aims for scalable CBM-to-LNG production pathway for Southern Africa.
