Tlou Energy Limited announced that following the successful drilling of the vertical wells and the tophole sections for the new production pods at the Lesedi CBM Project, operations have now recommenced to drill the lateral well sections for the first two Production Pods. Following the completion of lateral wells (Lesedi 3A & 3B and Lesedi 4A & 4B), the production pods will be completed using a separate workover rig ahead of installation of surface production facilities including water evaporation ponds. All of the production pods are being drilled in the same area as has been proposed for the initial project development and are aimed at confirming the gas flows in this area as well as ensuring production readiness prior to commencement of development operations. Dewatering and production testing activities will begin immediately following the completion of the production pods and the Company expects to provide regular updates on production testing progress.
