Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Adelaide-based Elixir Petroleum announced results from a coalbed methane project in Mongolia. The operation is part of the company’s Mongolian exploration project in the company's Nomgon IX CBM concession. At the #1S-Yangar stratigraphic test, the venture intersected 27 m of coal. Active gas bubbling was reported from coals recovered to surface and in the mud-pit in #1S-Yangar. According to the company, the results are promising because the coal depth is relatively shallow. The well was drilled to 347 m, with the active gas bubbling occurring at 260 m. The latest discovery is about 24 km west-northwest of a previous drillsite, #1-Nomgon in the same concession, where active gas bubbling was also observed. Elixir is planning an appraisal program on the entire Yangir sub-basin in 2022.
