CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2024 / Valeura Energy Inc. (TSX:VLE)(OTCQX:VLERF) ("Valeura" or the "Company") is pleased to announce first oil production from its Nong Yao C development, in Licence G11/48 (
The first three of the seven Nong Yao C development wells were opened up for oil production on August 15, 2024, with additional wells to be brought online successively thereafter. Ramp up of production volumes will continue in line with the Company's plan to achieve peak production rates of approximately 11,000 bbls/s within the coming weeks, versus recent rates in the first half of August of approximately 7,200 bbls/d (Valeura working interest share, before royalties). Valeura intends to sustain Nong Yao production rates at approximately 11,000 bbls/d for the remainder of the year 2024.
Dr. Sean Guest, President and CEO commented:
"I am very pleased to see first production from Valeura's first organic growth project in the Gulf of Thailand. We have executed an efficient drilling programme, which came in below budget and has achieved all of our geologic objectives, which we will now benefit from as we shore up the Company's total production output with this new production. Moreover, our drilling programme has successfully appraised several upside targets, which we expect will both contribute to reserves and resources when evaluated at year end, and may form the basis of future infill drilling to sustain volumes further into the future."
