In mid-May 2018, Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG) abandoned unsuccessful new-field wildcat Sosnina 1 in the 21/97/p Lubaczow-Zapalow permit in southeastern Poland (Carpathians). The well, drilled solely by PGNiG to the final depth of 630 m in the Jurassic series, failed to deliver hydrocarbons and was plugged.  Sosnina 1, located in the northeastern sector of the contract, was started on 17 April 2018, using the Cooper LTO 550 (117) drilling unit. In a geological sense, the well is situated in the Outer Carpathian Foredeep.  The well had a planned final depth of 700 m, targeting the Sarmatian-Badenian (Miocene) clastic reservoirs and the Jurassic calcareous unit.  The final depth was reached on 28 April 2018. Tests were conducted in early May and were finished on 10 May.  Background Information    The 840 sq km Lubaczow-Zapalow permit is located some 25 km east-north-east of the city of Jaroslaw. The eastern limit of the block runs along the border with Ukraine. The tract was originally awarded to PGNiG on 4 June 1997 and was renewed since, as prompted.  The latest drilling operation in the area dates back to February 2018, when PGNiG drilled and copleted with gas new-field wildcat Nowe Siolo 1. The well encountered commercial quantities of gas in several horizons â two more wells in the vicinity of Nowe Siolo, one of them Sosnina 1, were planned.
