Block has announced its operations update for the three months ended 31 December 2021.
Highlights
· Over 110,000 operational man-hours worked in Q4 2021, with no LTIs
· Drilling of well JKT-01Z reached target depth (“TD“) of 2,565m measured depth (“MD“)
· Significant mud losses observed relative to the WR-B1 well, indicating initial geological objectives have been achieved
· Q4 production of 34.6 Mboe (Q3: 34.6 Mboe) or an average of 376 boepd
· Q4 revenue of $2,550,000 (Q3: $901,000)
• oil revenue of $2,441,000 (Q3: $742,000)
• gas revenue of $109,000 (Q3: $159,000)
Block Energy plc’s Chief Executive Officer, Paul Haywood, said:
“We are pleased with the progress being made at JKT-01Z. Having encountered hydrocarbons and experienced significant mud losses whilst drilling, the early signs are encouraging. If JKT-01Z proves to be successful, side-track operations funded by production revenue will be initiated back at WR-B01, adopting the same geological approach employed at JKT-01Z. Strong sales, stable production and the ability to take advantage of enhanced sales pricing during the quarter, combined with encouraging initial signs from JKT-01Z, all add to the Board’s confidence in the Company’s ability to improve performance as we look to the year ahead”.
CEO Paul Haywood must be pleased, when I last looked I thought that the well was struggling a bit, he will be please to ramp up production and take the revenue upside.
