SV-54 Well Results

Regal Petroleum plc (AIM: RPT), the AIM-quoted oil and gas exploration and production group, is pleased to announce the results of the SV-54 well located at its Svyrydivske (SV) gas and condensate field in Ukraine.

The SV-54 well is a development well, primarily targeting production from the B-22 and B-23 reservoirs in the Visean formation. The well was spudded in October 2019 and has been drilled to a final depth of 5,322 metres.

One interval, at a drilled depth of 5,303 - 5,308 metres, within the B-23 reservoirs was perforated, and initial testing was undertaken using a variety of choke sizes. During this testing, strong gas and condensate flows were recorded, and, accordingly, the well had been hooked-up to the gas processing facilities to allow longer-term production testing to be conducted to optimise the operating parameters of the well. Currently, the well is producing at a stabilised flow rate of approximately 2.8 MMscf/d of gas and 40 bbl/d of condensate (565 boepd in aggregate).

Sergii Glazunov, Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted with the results of this new well, which was drilled safely and successfully, and well ahead of schedule. The flow rates demonstrated are excellent and a significant boost to our overall production volumes."
