Horizon Petroleum Initiates Production Testing at Lachowice Gas Field in Poland
Horizon Petroleum has commenced production testing at the Lachowice gas field in southern Poland. The company has executed a drilling and services contract for the re-entry, recompletion, and production testing of the Lachowice-7 (L7) well. This development follows the final regulatory approval from the Polish Mining Authority, allowing Horizon to begin field operations. The project is located at the company's Bielsko-Biała concession, with Exalo Drilling S.A. handling the operations. The workover aims to assess the long-term production potential of a naturally fractured Upper Devonian carbonate reservoir. Operations include removing suspension plugs, verifying wellbore integrity, reperforating the reservoir, conducting an acid stimulation treatment, and performing a production flow test. Horizon estimates the field contains over 1.2 trillion cubic feet of gas in place, with 34 billion cubic feet of 2P reserves and an additional 163 billion cubic feet of risked 2C contingent resources.
