Comet Ridge Limited provided an update on production operations at the Mira pilot scheme in the Mahalo Block in central Queensland. The Mira 6 /2 horizontal-vertical well combination was brought on-line by APLNG on 10 December and commenced producing gas after two days. This combination and three vertical wells (Mira 3, 4 & 5) have been on-line over the past month and are actively dewatering the Mira Pilot Scheme. Measured gas rates have been increasing steadily and last week passed 200,000 scf/d for the Mira 6/2 combination on a rising trend. Bottomhole pressure remains relatively high, indicating additional flow potential as gas rates are expected to increase significantly as the pressure in the pilot area is reduced.
