CALGARY, April 18, 2012 /CNW/ - DualEx Energy International Inc. ("DualEx" or "the Company") (TSXV: "DXE") is pleased to announce that drilling of the PEN-105A sidetrack well has been successfully completed. The well, located in Eastern Hungary, is a part of the Penészlek Project in which DualEx has a 40.44% ownership interest. The well encountered approximately 20 meters of gas-bearing formation in the Miocene volcaniclastic strata and is currently being configured for production.
"We're pleased with the results of the sidetrack operation and expect that once we get beyond the cleanup period we'll be able to announce flow rates consistent with those observed at PEN-105," said DualEx President & CEO Garry Hides. "Given the robust eastern European gas market, we are looking forward to the commencement of full production at PEN-105A and the resulting revenues."
The PEN-105A well was sidetracked from the PEN-105 well to a measured depth of 1,640 meters and to a location some 460 meters northeast of the original well, with the objective of accessing a separate larger fault compartment believed to be gas-bearing on the PEN-105 structure. Preliminary testing of a 7 meter perforated section at PEN-105A produced gas at a rate of 0.928 MMscfd (26,300 m3/d) and work to reconnect the well to production facilities has already commenced. Over the coming weeks, the Company plans to add additional perforations and may stimulate the well with an acid wash. An acid wash on the original PEN-105 well was extremely effective, resulting in a doubling of the pre-stimulation production rate.
DualEx Energy International Inc. is an oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in Hungary and Tunisia. DualEx's common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "DXE".
