Nordic Production Receives Boost from CBM Wells

Nordic Oil and Gas’ production has exceeded 100 barrels of oil equivalent a day from its natural gas and coal bed methane (CBM) wells in Alberta, Canada, as two wells resume production.

The 3-18-38-24 W4 and 16-20-38-24 W4 Belly River wells, which were undergoing workovers, have been brought back to production.

“We are pleased to have these two wells back on production after having been down for some time, “said Nordic Oil and Gas chairman and CEO Donald Benson.

“Historically, the 3-18 well has been our best producer in Joffre and we continue to anticipate strong production from this well. The timing of putting these wells back on production coincides with seasonally high natural gas prices that usually occur over the next 120 days.”

A compressor was put on the 3-18 well, while a workover including new tubing, was completed on the 16-20 well.

There are nine wells in production at Joffre and three additional wells will resume production in the coming weeks.
