Mongolia gas prospects
Sept 29 (LNGJ) - Elixir Energy of Australia was positive about future coal-bed methane (CBM) gas production prospects in Mongolia, bordered by China and Russia. Elixir Managing Director Neil Young said the company’s Nomgon-10 pilot well is now online at its Nomgon IX CBM project in the South Gobi Basin of Mongolia.
Young said that Elixir was bringing the well into production slowly to minimise the risks of formation damage and shocks to the coal reservoir. “In the Yangir region, a successful drill stem test (DST) was performed on the Yangir West-2 well, with the results constituting a CBM gas discovery and with the company having proved the presence of gas-saturated coal with adequate permeability,” Elixir added. The company also has LNG production ambitions in Australia.
