Tlou Energy says that the Selemo pilot pod had reached Critical (gas) Desorption Pressure (CDP) as a result of the careful dewatering process that had been undertaken. With ongoing pumping operations following CDP, the gas pressure inside the casing continued to increase on a consistent upward trend.

However, more recently the observed gas pressure has plateaued due to a casing integrity issue. Therefore pumping operations will be temporarily discontinued on the Selemo pod to remediate the issue which is currently preventing the continued build-up of gas pressure.
