San Leon Announces Two Vertical Fracs in Poland

It might be a coincidence, but since Maciej Grabowski replaced Marcin Korolec at the helm of the Ministry of the Environment, companies are announcing a string of successful shale operations in Poland. San Leon’s recent achievement is just one of the events that rekindles hopes for a Polish shale gas industry.

San Leon announced it successfully executed two vertical hydraulic fracture stimulations on the two planned intervals in the Lewino-1G2 well on its 221,000 acre Gdansk W Concession in Poland’s northern Baltic Basin.

‘Slickwater frack of the upper zone is believed to have achieved all of the technical targets of the frack redesign,’ explains the company in a note, adding that the ‘well has improved ability to recover treatment water compared with the July frack.’

Earlier this week, Grabowski said that a draft law on shale gas would be ready by the end of the year. On Wednesday, ConocoPhillips and 3Legs Resources agreed to proceed with further drills and tests to assess flow rate potentials of the Sasino shale in Northern Poland.
