Green Dragon Gas Ltd. (LSE: GDG), one of the largest independent companies involved in the production and sale of Coalbed Methane ('CBM') gas in China, is pleased to announce the 8th anniversary of production from GSS-008, the first well to be drilled using the LiFaBriC completion design. GSS-008 first came on line on 21 March 2008 and this year has completed eight straight years of continuous and sustained gas production. The well has yet to show any decline in production rate and to date has produced a cumulative 1.28 Bcf of gas production.
Randeep S. Grewal, Chairman and Founder of Green Dragon Gas, commented:
"I am exceptionally proud of the continued outstanding performance of GSS-008, the very first well completed using our LiFaBriC technique. The continuous and consistent performance year-on-year from this well since 2008 demonstrates the transformational impact of our LiFaBriC well design that is specifically tailored to address the unique challenges of complex faulted coal seams in China."
