Onshore Caribbean, Hispanic American, and European Energy and natural resources focused company, Ascent Resources (LON: AST) said on Friday that PG-11A, one of its two development wells on the Petišovci tight gas field has now been put back into production.
The company said that following recent increases in local gas prices (around a 175% rise from mid-2020 levels), and a recently observed pressure anomaly building up in the annulus and tubing at PG-11A, the joint venture partner has put the well back into production.
This is to build additional joint venture revenues and enable an evaluation of the source of the pressure anomaly and remedial action.
