Hitherto unreported, in early May 2018, Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG) completed with gas new-field wildcat KrÃ³lewska GÃ³ra-1K in the 28/96/p Ropczyce-Bratkowice-StrzyzÃ³w contract in southern Poland (Carpathians). The well reached the final depth of 1,350 m, obtained commercial gas flows from the Miocene clastic series (results unreported) and was completed as producer. PGNiG was the sole operator of the well.  KrÃ³lewska GÃ³ra 1K, located approximately 25 km west of the city of Rzeszow, within the tectonic units of the Carpathian Flysch Zone, was started in late March 2018.  The well had a planned final depth estimated to be approximately 2,300 m, targeting the Autochthonous Miocene sandstone series.    Test results indicate that annual production from the newly discovered deposit may reach approximately 100 MMcf/d of high-methane gas. PGNiG is expecting the discovery well to be on-line in late 2019.  Background Information    The Ropczyce-Bratkowice-Strzyzow contract was granted to PGNiG on 13 May 1996. It was due to expire on 13 May 2014 but was extended to 13 May 2018 (at the time of renewal, the company carved out of the concession the area in the western sector of the tract, suburbs of the cities Ropczyce and Rzeszow).  In 2017, PGNiG received approval from the Department of Geology and Geological Concessions for the conversion of the contract 28/96/p, holding the prospection/exploration rights until then, into a joint exploration and production contract (received new designation: 28/96/L).  The latest well operation in the area dates back to late October/early November 2016, when PGNiG finalised successful new-field wildcat Gnojnica 2K - the well was completed with gas in the Autochthonous Miocene sandstone series.
KrÃ³lewska GÃ³ra-1K op. by PGNiG (100%) in the contract 28/96/Å Ropczyce-Bratkowice-StrzyÅ¼Ã³w, gas disc, with anticipated potential production of 2 MMcf/d of high methane gas from Badenian (Miocene) sst.
