- 3 zones still to be tested with results to follow
TORONTO, Sept. 7, 2023 /CNW/ – NG Energy International Corp. (“NGE” or the “Company“) (TSXV: GASX) (OTCQX: GASXF) announces that, further to the Company’s press release of September 5, 2023, it has completed DST-1 at Maria Conchita over a 22.5-hour period. The final test was conducted at a 1.25″ choke, testing 16 MMscf/d with 5 barrels of 43.7 API condensate recovered during the test. It was determined to not test the well at 2.0″ after sufficient information was gathered from the test.

The well is now shut down for a pressure build up before the Company proceeds with DST-2.
Given the size of the gas zones encountered and the increased scope of completion at Aruchara-3, certain directors and officers of the Company have decided to exercise their $1.20 warrants expiring October 22, 2023 early in order to fund the activity. The Company will proceed with DST-2 to test the 60′ feet of gas net pay in the H2 sandstone zone, followed by two DSTs in the newly encountered 570 feet of net gas pay in the H4-H3 sections of the Jimol formation.
