The well is located on the same licence as the Siekierki tight gas field and was targeting the same age reservoir, Permian Rotliegendes sandstones, within a separate structure.
Aurelian said the well has encountered a 65m gas column, and 175m of core has been recovered.
The extensive quantity of core recovered has so far yielded measured ambient porosities of 5% to 16% and ambient permeability of 0.04 mD to 40 mD in the gas column, and a preliminary estimate of 10-20 bcf GIIP has been made.
The company has completed wireline logging and the well is now being prepared for testing which will be complete by the end of 2011.
