Jersey, Channel Islands, 02 September 2022 – Serinus Energy plc (“Serinus” or the “Company”) (AIM:SENX, WSE:SEN), announces that the drilling operations at the Canar-1 exploration well in Romania have been completed.
The Canar-1 well was drilled to a total depth of 1,570 metres, targeting three prospective hydrocarbon zones. Well logging and gas show readings determined that these zones had indications of residual gas, but they do not contain sufficient gas resources to justify proceeding with the testing and completion program for the well. Drilling operations were performed without incident. The well will now be suspended for potential future use as a water disposal well and the drilling rig mobilized to the Moftinu Nord-1 well location.
The Company will now focus on successful drilling operations on the Moftinu Nord-1 well. This well targets multiple sands within a different structure type to Canar-1. The well is located 5.2 km to the northwest of the Moftinu gas plant.
