Hitherto unreported, on 24 September 2018, Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG) abandoned wildcat Goszczanowo 1K in the 69/98/L Gorzow Wielkopolski-Miedzychod contract in western Poland. The well, solely drilled by PGNiG, reached a depth of 3,646 m (TVD 3,571 m) in the Permian (Rotliegend) series, encountered technical issues and was subsequently abandoned.    The Goszczanowo 1K well was spudded on 9 June 2018, using the rig MAS-6000E, unit 307, from Exalo Drilling. The well is situated approximately 20 km north of the city of Miedzychod, just north of the Lubiatow oil field. It falls within the Fore-Sudetic Monocline, tectonic unit of the NE German-Polish Basin.    Goszczanowo 1K has a planned final depth of 3,750 m (TVD 3,682 m), with the objective in the Permian (Rotliegend) succession. Zechstein Main Dolomite series is believed to be a secondary target.    By the end of June 2018, PGNiG reached a depth of 2,053 m (TVD 2,053 m) in the Middle Triassic successions. By the end of July 2018, after 671 m had been drilled during the month, PGNiG reached a depth of 2,724 m (TVD 2,422 m) in the topmost part of the Upper Permian (Zechstein) series. By the end of August 2018, after 908 m had been drilled during the month, reached a depth of 3,632 m (TVD 3,558 m). Some 14 m had been drilled in September, prior to entering technical issues and abandoning the well.    Background Information    The 1,090 sq km Gorzow Wielkopolski-Miedzychod permit was granted to PGNiG on 28 September 1998 for an initial period of five years. The contract was extended since (last extension granted on 14 September 2016). On 16 September 2016, in accordance with the countryâs Mining Law, the contract was converted from exploration rights (designation 69/98/p) to joint exploration-production rights (designation 69/98/L). At the same time, the contract was extended for 30 years, with the exploration phase until 14 September 2021. The Gorzow Wielkopolski-Miedzychod contract encloses the LubiatÃ³w-MiedzychÃ³d-GrotÃ³w cluster of fields (LMG), discovered in 2003.    The Lubiatow oil and gas field was discovered in 2002 with the Lubiatow 1 well. The field is producing from the Upper Permian Main Dolomite succession, found at depths of approximately 3,200-3,300 m. The Lubiatow field is de-facto composed of two elements: Sowia Gora element in the northern part of the pool â wells Sowia Gora 1, 2K, 4 were drilled there - and Lubiatow element in the south (wells Lubiatow 1, 2 6H, 7H were drilled there).
