Jan 10 (LNGJ) - While Northern Germany is dominating the nation’s LNG development, Southern Germany continues to make the headlines in German crude oil production. UK-based Neptune Energy has announced first oil output from its operated Rӧmerberg 6 well in the city of Speyer in the southwest state of Rhineland-Palatinate. Initial production tests indicate flow rates of up to 1,800 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
“Römerberg 6 is the ninth production well on the field first discovered in 2003 and is expected to increase Neptune’s production in the Rhine Valley to around 3,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day,” said Neptune. “We are committed to further developing the Römerberg oil field and to increasing production capacity over the coming years,” said Andreas Scheck, Neptune’s Managing Director in Germany.
