Pulu 3 flow tested approximately 4.6 MMcfg/d through a 10mm choke from the horizontal section of 3,545-3,935m MD in the Jurassic Qianfuya Formation on 19 April 2020, after having underwent a six stage fracture stimulation progamme in early April 2020. The success of Pulu 3 has opened the continental shale/tight gas potential of the Puguang gas field area and is estimated to hold resources-in-place of 123.4 Bcm of gas. Previous exploration of the Jurassic continental tight gas in the Puguang field area focused on the Xujiahe Formation which was unable to achieve stabilized commercial gas flow. Pulu 3 was spudded in May 2019 and was suspended for testing on 4 November 2019 at a TD of 3,979m MD. Pulu 3 is in the Sinopec operated Daxian-Xuanhan Block in the Sichuan Basin and used the same well site platform as the Pulu 2 well that is geographically located in Sichuan Province, Xuanhan County, Puguang Town, Taya Village. 
Pulu 3 npw, (Sinopec â Zhongyuan 100%) achieved an important breakthrough in the Puguang prod. block, well tested 4,6 MMscf/d of gas, through a 10 mm choke, at an interval between 3545 and 3945 m in the Jurassic Qianfoya Fm. The success of Pulu 3 demonstrated gas exploration prospective on the Jurassic play in this area and indicated 4.4 Tcf of geological gas resources. Pulu 3 was drilled in the outside of the Puguang field area with non-marine play target in the Jurassic Qianfoya Fm.
