[{"type":"text","content":"\n \nRNS Number : 9963Q Empyrean Energy PLC 18 September 2017 \n\nThis announcement contains inside information\n \nEmpyrean Energy PLC / Index: AIM / Epic: EME / Sector: Oil & Gas\n18 September 2017\nEmpyrean Energy PLC (\"Empyrean\" or the \"Company\")\n \nDempsey Gas Well to Flow Test Multiple Zones\n \n· Wireline logs confirm numerous zones for production testing\n· Wireline log data supports the presence of gas saturated sands consistent with previously reported significant gas shows\n · 5 ½\" liner run and cemented to protect zones for testing\n · Drill rig being replaced by workover rig to carry out completion and testing\n· Testing expected to commence in 2 to 3 weeks based on logistics of rig moves\n· Tests to be conducted sequentially from lowest up (not in priority of interpreted significance ) and will cease once sufficient commercial flow is established for production \n · Dempsey has successfully drilled the largest mapped structural closure in the northeastern Sacramento Basin\n \nEmpyrean Energy (EME: AIM), the oil and gas development company with interests in China, Indonesia and the United States, is pleased to announce that it has been informed by Sacgasco Limited (ASX: SGC) (\"Sacgasco\"), the operator of the Dempsey 1-15 well in the Sacramento Basin, onshore California, that the Dempsey 1-15 well has completed the drilling phase, and a 5 ½\" liner has been run and cemented to protect all potential reservoirs beneath the existing 9 5/8\" casing.\n \nSince the last update two wireline logging runs have been completed. The wireline log data supports the presence of gas-saturated porous sands consistent with the zones of significant gas shows reported earlier. \n \nThese strata have been underexplored and under-evaluated in the Sacramento Basin. Therefore, in the absence of nearby analogue producing reservoirs, flow testing in the next stage of operations will determine whether the gas sands have a combination of porosity, permeability and access to volumes of reservoir ...
