Mark Routh, Prospex’s CEO, commented:
“I am very pleased that Po Valley Energy has completed the ramp-up and commissioning process at the PM-1 gas facility of the Selva field. The final transition to ongoing production at PM-1 is underway which marks a major milestone for both Po Valley and Prospex. The ongoing production from PM-1 is an outstanding platform from which the Joint Venture can actively pursue the exploration and development of nearby lookalike wells.
“I would also like to take the opportunity to congratulate Po Valley Energy and their team on the ground, for the highly effective management of the start-up phase of the PM-1 gas facility during July. The necessary and prudent data acquisition programme of downhole pressures and temperatures has been completed and will be analysed in order to develop the optimum ongoing production strategy.
“We have now delivered a key step in the Company’s strategy to become a diversified energy producer with multiple producing assets principally in lower risk, onshore European markets with ready access to infrastructure. We are proud to be supporting the European Energy sector with producing assets in both Italy and Spain and look forward to updating shareholders on our continued progress.”
