IGas Energy has started construction of a third well at Doe Green (DG-3), near Warrington, UK, as part of the firm’s accelerated programme to convert its resources into reserves and bring commercial production onstream.
IGas Energy signed a second drilling contract, securing the BDF Rig 28 for a four-well programme, which will begin at DG-3.
The accelerated drilling programme will involve drilling one lateral well and subsequent branches into a different seam to the existing producing well at DG-2.
The firm will spud the well this month.
Site construction works have begun with two cellars constructed and the conductors are in the process of being set.
