Two of the three wells were step--out wells tested the prospectivity and geological development of the Alum Shale away from the GH--2 discovery. A further well twinned to the GH--2 discovery was cored to analyse the Alum Shale section. A further drill stem test was carried out on the discovery well GH--2 where commercial rates were obtained.
In addition to the work around GH--2, the well BY--1 (7km east of GH--2) was pressure tested and gas flow was confirmed. The laboratory measured methane content of a gas sample…
