The firm said that the work to connect the gas export line is underway, as is the final installation of the processing equipment which will be followed by connecting and testing the entire facility.

Rocksource stated that production wells will be sequentially shut in and then tied in to the new facilities and gradually opened up for production through the new facilities.

After the high-pressure wells are tied-in and opened, compressors will be installed to increase production from wells with low-pressure zones early in 2008.
